I also do it when I have to get USI people with strong accents to repeat things 11 times so I can decipher it

Nice try, HR!

Language may not be the issue always. Indians are too nice people. They say ‘yes’ for everything. So when you explain requirements, they will immediately say ‘yes’ without full understanding of the requirements. This happens with all US IT companies dealing with their Indian counterparts.

I just blame it on the phone. "I couldt hear you, could you please repeat that?”

😂😂😂

USI is still cheaper even if they have to repeat a sentence 11 times or write the same code 11 times😊

Not when a US employee has to do 11 calls re-explaining what they want in increasing levels of detail

I’m sorry... can you repeat that? Skype was cutting you out

I blame it on being mute which makes no sense

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Hi Team,

I have cleared all the interview rounds (WebEx & HR on call) for the position: VERIFIER, and also submitted documents (authentic as per my knowledge) for background verification on Aug. 25, 2022.

How much time usually ICICI bank takes to generate Offer Letter, after all the verification process??

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works. (Plus, I don’t want to not use something that I can or should use.) Elementary stuff, I know. But I’ve freelanced my whole career until now. Thanks
