How bad does it look if you cancel an MBB interview stating the reason- you don’t feel it’s aligned with your goals at this point. Does it ruin your future chances?

Exactly. Personal reasons or family reasons should suffice.

Def cancel and give a somewhat honest reason but perhaps more like “timing is not right for you right now”. Going through it with half a heart is more likely to hurt current and future chances

Hello Fishes,

I had given interview
Mindtree and cleared both technical rounds. On Tuesday 29 March 2022, I got a call from HR for the final discussion. After that I have not received any response.

I have been calling the HR and her manager, both are not responding to mail or calls.

Is there a way to get some information if my candidature is still in progress or is this delay natural? I have another offer from another company, but am more interested in joining Mindtree.
