What AD1 said, but also, may be a sign if total dysfunction and that you'd be on your own if you join because that's how chaotic/without structure or staff strategy it is. Happened to me once and it was awful, I had to do everything alone from lowest to highest account function level.

It may be good to write some notes from your conversation and flip it over this person or HR and tell THEM what they sound they need. If you like them, I mean.
Because if they're too busy to know what they need, someone who can figure out what they need might be the answer.
Does that make sense? I need to go home. Been staring at this deck all day.

Good point. Pretty sure they need someone but seemed too overwhelmed/busy to have paused to think about the details.

Hi Fishes,
I cleared LTI all rounds and in HR discussion we came on mutual agreement for 16lpa .I have 7 years of experience and they gave me Specialist - Data Engineering(P3) role. And we agreed I will join with after 60 as I had to serve 60 days notice period. I was waiting for offer letter and when I received the offer letter I was shocked to see that CTC mentioned was 14LPA and joining date was only 15days from now ,which is way early.

Hello Fishes,

I am about to join CTS as bid manager role in SAP. I don't have prior experience with bid management but have functional & implementation experience in SAP.
I just want to know how are the seniors in terms of helping and letting me grasp the process like shadowing etc happens or I would be bombarded with work?

Friends, are you ready to take the 'good person' test?

1) How many lies have you told in your lifetime?

2) How many times have you stolen anything regardless of value?

3) How many times have you looked at a person with lust?

4) How many times have you used 'Jesus' or 'Christ' in place of a flithy cuss word?

The bad news is we all fail the test. The good news is that Jesus paid the price for us, so that if we repent and trust in Him we can enter beautiful Heaven and avoid horrendous Hell.
