I started making connections at agencies I wanted to work with around December/January and would periodically reach out and then I started really applying and interviewing early April and started my job mid-late May! If you want to take a break post grad id say start applying about 5-6 weeks before you want to actually start. It can be quicker than that but thinking you’ll have 2-3 meetings over 2-3 weeks then get an offer and have some time to accept and a 2 week buffer for start date! Good Luck!

Hi fishes,
I had interviewed for Cognizant and I was asked to submit my documents for offer letter release. This happened on the same day as my interview(Friday 6th May). I submitted my documents and I am trying to contact the HR who scheduled my interview, but she is not picking up my call. My question is how soon can I expect the offer letter to be released? And is there a possibility that they can reject my profile at this stage?
