Hey everyone. I am a 2020 B.tech IT grad from VIT vellore. I have worked at DXC Technology for 15 months and quit in October. I gave 2 interview rounds at amex for Business analyst role and today got a call from the recruiter that she received mail from Amex that I’m selected and there would be a salary discussion probably this week. My question is, if she said that is it certain that I’ll be offered this role and if yes then is there a chance that my gap months can hamper my chances in hr round

It seems like they are leaning towards offering you the role if they're opening the floor up to salary discussions. I do not think you'll have any problems because of your resume gap. Of course how the salary discussion goes will determine whether or not they actually give you a formal offer.

Yoe- 1.5 years

I would assume they've already seen that there is a gap in your resume. Just be prepared to justify why you took a hiatus and you should be ok. Good luck!

I agree with this. They have likely aready seen it. Just be ready to explain it.
