Hello sharks,

Recently attended the TCS interview for the role of cloud architect and it went well.

HR asked me to upload all the documents and verified.
Then HR called me to discuss the salary and told me that she will inform the management.

Almost 3 working days after the call, haven't received any updates! Tried to call HR but not picking up the call. I assume it's because of these continuous holidays.

Is this usual!

Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions.

I was interviewed for SAP PP role in TCS and cleared all rounds last month on 24th August. Last week (9 sept) there was Salary negotiation and it was also done... Still didn't get any offer break up from TCS as per discussion till now. What to expect and what is next process now... Can someone help?

Additional Posts in Accounting Exit Opportunities

There is a company that I want to apply to and I see opportunities on LinkedIn that interest me. I’m also working with a recruiter. It’s close to where I live and she knows where I live but she hasn’t recommended it. I’m guessing she doesn’t have a network with the company. Should I ask her to represent me or should I apply directly myself? What advice do you have? What are the pros and cons?
