Is Applicant Lab worth it if I’m applying for HSW + Haas R1?? Obviously I won’t get most out of it but is it worth it still? Thank you!!

What are you trying to get out of it? Essay advice/tips? I think App Lab has great detailed advice for essays. The modules are interactive, so you’ll have to decide whether you want to spend the time adding examples of a time you did X or Y. There’s a free trial.

Like I said, it’s more interactive but you can certainly just skip it to read her tips. Some are good, some are things you can find online. Every consultant has a different approach to different essays, so I don’t think it’ll necessarily tell you whether your essays are compelling. You’d need another set of eyes on it.

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.

So, I'm happy at my current job and have been there about 18 months. Our pay is probably 15% below market (AmLaw 100) but so are our billable requirements. An interview for another firm kind of fell into my lap, and I'm debating whether to take it just for the sake of seeing what market really is. Is there something shady about interviewing somewhere you're not totally committed to accepting an offer from?
