I cleared HCL Tech interviews early Sept this year, and the recruiter sent me a draft copy of the salary breakdown to which I agreed. She went on a leave and her manager or not, collected the Interview Record Form along with other details. I have been following up since then, yet no offer letter has been released. Lately, i am being told there are budget constraints in the existing project and they are trying to see if they can fit me in some other projects. Am I to keep my hopes high or forget?

In HCL, the salary range and Band is not tightly linked. Even 2.1 guys earning 18 lpa and 3.1 people getting 14 LPA. Also there are some advantages and disadvantages as well in getting higher bands like 4.1. There wont be much requirement for 4.1 at all as all project managers /Senior architects will be 3.1 or 3.2. Only Group project Managers will be in 4.1 who will look after more than 2 projects .Also don't expect any increments once you join.

Initially, I asked for a band E3.2, but based on my YOE (15yrs), they seem me fit at E4.1

Hi folks, need guidance. Skill - . Net + azure and YOE - 4.

After two tech round received email for documents. HR said that she will discuss regarding my expected offer with the team after receiving documents from my side which I sent yesterday.
Today evening I got technical interview assigned mail with meeting invitation for today afternoon itself. It is very confusing to me.

Are they trying to take my one more round of interview? I was hoping to get offer after sending documents.

I’m having the hardest time finding a new job. I have 12 years of HR experience, a masters in HR, SHRM certification, and all I keep getting are rejection emails. I’ve never experienced this difficult of a time searching for new opportunities. Is this normal once you hit a certain level in your career or is it just me?
