Hey Guys,
I got a call from Infosys HR on 16-September-2022 that I have been successfully selected for the job position of Test Analyst at Infosys, as per our conversation I have to receive an offer letter within 15 days, but I haven’t received it till now.
Now They have sent a mail that your Candidature is on hold. Is this happened with anyone else also.
Please do suggest on this guys.

Hi everyone, I have 2 years of experience in a service based industry as a Java developer, and I am eager to work hard and switch to a reputed product based organisation, but I am not getting proper time to study and practice data structures and algorithms, as I have so much to learn and understand things which are related to my project. Any suggestions would be appreciated and I'll try to inculcate it. Thanks in advance! Amazon Oracle Samsung Microsoft Cisco Salesforce Arcesium Uber

What US law firms tend to hire more LLMs?
I had interviewed for an internship position at EY for technology consultant program for summer 2022 and got a call where they extended an offer. I wanted to know if I can defer the internship offer to fall 2022 or a later start date after summer.
I apologize as I cannot reply to a comment or DM on this platform to anyone, but thanks for your answers in advance.

Hey! Are you a grad student? If yes, are you by any chance a member of the Grad consulting club?
No, I am not a grad student.
Took me 3 times. Play the long game
This is great to know. Thank you for the feedback
What was your feedback the first 2 times? How did you improve? What resources did you use?
1. Straight no interview despite multiple strong name internship - needed to network more
2. I blew up the case
That is what happened with me as well. They said my problem solving needed more work. How did you prepare for the 3rd time?
Just multiple recruiting cycles. I did experience hires for T2 and then again for McK
4 times at different stages of life.
Wow you have a lot of patience. What didnot work the first 3 times and what worked the 4th time?
It’s not really about patience, it was more about McKinsey still made sense as a place to apply at different stages of my life.
- graduating college senior
- 2-3 years out after college
- MBA student
- 2-3 years after mba job hop
There’s an initial disappointment of - hey - I didn’t break into MBB and look at what my classmates are doing that I’m not. But that fades - honestly there is so much exciting work out there.
The point is that you just continue to grow. My first job gave me a lot of client exposure, and I got confident in managing client relationships, leading teams. But it wasn’t strategy, it was IT implementation.
My second job (out of mba) was as an internal strategy consultant at a big tech company. Learned a lot of skills, ways of thinking, starting and finishing a strategy project.
Why Mckinsey now? Geographic move closer to family pushed me to look for a new job. I missed being client facing. And I’m still looking to accelerate my career as much as possible. I do miss the tech wlb though.
My first time was a failure, I didn't make it up to the last round of interview. They invited me for the second time but I was out of the country. The third time, I made it.
Can you let me know how you prepped?
Honestly this warms my heart that I’m not only one who played the long game
I applied twice. But I never got a single offer.
