Not a problem as long as you were structured.

Missed a calculation of 6x300x1.1 in one of mines in the first round and still got the offer

You good. We care more about how/structure as long as you’re close

Not bad at all. I spent 5 mins trying to understand where the interviewer (a Principal) was trying to guide me and eventually he solved it for me. Still got the offer. But I did crush the other components of the case

Hi everyone,

I appeared in L2 round of Capgemini recently.
Just after the intro first question they asked me " Do you have any offer and amount?" This question was asked in technical round.
I'm sure that guy wasn't a Manager.

I don't think he know how to take an interview.

Even after creating 2 asked program and answering 80% of their questions correctly.
Got rejected.
Didn't expect this kind of L2 round from Capgemini.

Why is it so hard to get a call back? I’ve applied for hundreds of positions and asked for referrals and followed up so many times… I have a really solid resume and currently work for a company that’s known for high standards. Is anyone else struggling to find a better job right now?

My current role started out as a way to increase my skills, but for the past year the majority of what I’ve done is transcribing data between systems, which is one of the things I’m very bad at. My brain switches letters/numbers. With some recent changes, all other responsibilities were removed. I had a good reputation in the company before this, but now every day I feel like a failure because I keep making mistakes.
