Hi all, Currently I am 1.6yrs experienced.I had completed my interview with HCL Technologies along with HR discussion around 1st week of July.On 20th July I received an email from HR saying I need to wait for 3 more weeks to get the offer letter. My salary was 3.8 LPA at the time of interview(it became 4LPA from August) and i asked for 6.5 LPA Need advice on whether or not to expect the Offer Letter in hand once 3 weeks are over?

My two cents:
1. Often it’s not what you say it’s how you say it. Learning how to say direct stuff with a bit of lightness, charm or even comedy is a necessary skill if you’re assertive.
2. Develop strong relationships with your day to days so they understand your style, can defend you to others if needed, and can keep you honest if you are coming across as difficult.
3. Get to know leadership and make sure you’re well liked by the people who make staffing decisions. It’s much better to be known as tough if you’ve got a good reputation as an excellent worker. You do not want to be known as one who does not play well with others.
4. Don’t ever be mean or make people feel small or stupid. Even by accident.
Dunno tbh I don’t think it’s so black and white gendered. Learning how to work with people and play to your strengths and communicate effectively will benefit either gender. No point blaming the other.

I have always tried to stay focused on the work. I find the chatter to be distracting noise like the kid who pulls your hair in class. Anything that tries to emotionally throw you off your game should be ignored. It gets worse the more successful you become too. I’ve heard it called the success tax. Also, make sure you have a good trusted female friend you can talk it all out with outside of work, it helps make you feel like you’re not going crazy!
