Who hates AEM?
I’m currently working in Citi as an AVP in Mumbai for the past 9 months.. due to personal reasons I wanted to move back to Pune (I have worked in Pune for last 8 years before coming to Citi) so I landed up with an offer from HSBC into Wholesale IT (GCB5).
My current Fixed CTC in Citi is 26.5 excluding PF and Retrials and HSBC IT has offered me 30.5 for the same and said they cannot increase further as am moving jobs in after 9 months which is too early..

The best lead I ever got on a job happened pretty much through luck. I happened to run into a former colleague who suggested I call a friend of theirs, who knew of an opening. I'll say I was qualified for the job, so I earned it to that extent, but really, luck had a lot to do with it. Ideally, you need a combination of skills at the ready and some luck at the right time.
Very interesting! I know someone in my neighborhood who had a very similar experience. Sounds like its ideal to be prepared just in case youre in the right place at the right time.

Lucky to get resume pass through ATS and then on the interview. Not straightforward
Definitely not straightforward these days!
It definitely makes sense. I have been looking for a new job for 7 months and have only had two interviews total. At this point I do think you have to get the timing just right and luck has to be on your side.
Timing seems to be critical and so much of it seems to be outside of our control. Hope you find something soon!
