Ignore these people. I know people at MBB that left at 9 months for S&O in tech. I know former Deloitte BTAs who exited to strategy in tech at 1 year. Start looking if you want out!

It’s a good time to start networking, so you have references lined up before you apply in ~6-12 months down the line

Yes although it’s hard. I know a few people who left in a year and exited to tech making significantly more money

Hi all,

I interviewed with capgemini for SAP ABAP role and my YOE is 4 years. Just 2 hours after my interview, I got a call from someone at Capgemini saying that I am selected.
They just asked my notice period and current location.I asked them, what is the next round going to be and they said that it is going to be salary discussion. But till now, no one has reached out to me.
Does it mean they got another candidate for same job?
If they get back to me, how much should I ask?
Current - 9.9
