Hey Fishes,

Recently received an offer from HCL. The HR guy asked for all the documents and said that I'll be receiving the offer letter within one week. It has been almost 2.5 weeks and no response received from his end. When I called to enquire he said it is taking time to get approval for my expected CTC.

How much time does it takes for them to get such approvals.

And also if they don't have the approvals then why ask for documents before the releasing the offer.

They just put u for backup, there is no hope till you receive offer letter.

Hope that is not the case.

This happened to me too.. when I tried to follow up one of them even sent a better luck next time email and the reason they stated was business constraints

Yup we are in the same boat.

I was in a similar situation last month, cleared 2 rounds for HCl, HR told me they will release offer letter by end of week, then they delayed it by 3 days saying today EOD u will get it, finally HR said we are sry, currently we are having a unit wide hiring freeze.

2days later, another HR from HCl called and said we are having urgent requirement, took another 2 interviews and gave offer letter.

Seems there is no coordination between hiring teams inside HCl.

1st HCL HR said they can go max 20LPA(with variable) - didn't get offer letter bcuz of hiring freeze.

2nd HCL HR offered 23LPA(Fixed) - got offer letter and joined.

Funny this is they hired me for immediate requirement it's been 20days, I'm still on bench.

YOE: 5+

#boycot HCl unprofessional company

Not just HCL buddy, across it is the same.. one HR says there is urgent requirement, other one says we are on hiring freeze. One says there is business constraint, other says let me check with higher level for approval. I feel this is a game they are playing to combat the countering offers associates are now-a-days following. No hiring process is transparent. May be this is just HRs doing their job, it also encourages associates to be dicey.
But I personally feel this is not how a hiring process needs to be. It should be transparent from both the sides.

Does higher vault ranking (v10-30 compared to v80-100) open more doors for corporate in-house opportunities for a senior associate? If chambers practice area rankings and expected billable hours are similar and they offer the same DPW pay scale, does it matter less? Is it better to stay at/lateral to a firm where you might be able last longer to learn the necessary skills? Any personal anecdote or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
