I have interviews scheduled with other Big 4s and Slalom. How difficult is it to switch firms for folks on H1B ?

Not at all in terms of getting offers from Big4. But the complete process from LCA to H1B approval is taking 3-5 months these days(assuming you will be joining after H1B approval)

Is it risky to join with just the receipt notice? Do the firms recommend joining like that?
I am still new to this field so just wanted to check.

Yes it's little risky joining on receipt.. you will loose your H1B status and will be out of status if , for any reason, H1 gets rejected.

Depending upon the firm.. but most are ok with joining on receipt... if you are single, not have much investment (like house, car, etc) you can take this risk.. worst case you will have to go out of country for couple of months if h1gets rejected and firm re files

Okay good to know. My wife works in the industry on H1B. Worst case - will switch to a H4. Thanks for the tips, guys.

Yes if no one is dependent upon you.. worth taking the risk.. make sure to check with firm HR on their policy on H1.. good luck .. if you coming to D. Welcome 😄

The thing is with the current time frames, I doubt if any firm will wait 6-8 months - joining on receipt seems to be the only viable option

Hmm makes sense. Let's see. I'll take a call when I actually get an offer. Will talk to the corresponding firm HR and make sure I know about their policies.

Hi I was interviewed by Capgemini in December 2021 and surprisingly they called in February 2022 for second round.

1. When can i expect call from hr?
2. I was thinking it is not genuine as they did not had clarity for which they were interviewing me. However in both round people who interviewed had email id with domain of Capgemini.

Did it happened with anybody else?

Please guide.
Thanks

I'm trying to frame my answer to the leadership question. I once talked to my mom about how I was selected as CEO in a group project. It was because of my strong technical skills+connections(I already know 80% of the group)+activeness. My mom said that's exactly what she values in the professional setting. Can I answer the question in this way during interviews? I feel like it's not the common approach since this answer does not involve any specific actions, but could potentially stand out.

Applied here and interviewed (presumably to the final round) and didn’t end up with an offer, I think due to the specific experience I’ve had so far. I want to definitely try again in the future when I get more experience. Is there a specific grace period that is ideal? Would this look bad if I apply again since I’ve been rejected before?

Hi Fishes,
During my whole career I have given my first interview on last Saturday (18th June) in a different company.
Could you please let me know how I'll be notified I'm selected or not? Or normally how days I need to wait for their further communications? it is a right way to email the recruiting HR about my selection status or interview status after the normal waiting time?
Thanks in advance.
