Thoughts?

To be honest, if given the option, I would never return to office.

Seems useless to be stuck in traffic for hours (both sides) and then doing the work at a specific location when you can do the same from anywhere, be it your own home or any remote location.

From the employer side, I could see how having more and more fully remote employees could lead to employees having a disconnect to the companies they work for. It could cause a lack of company identity and belonging or attachment. For some, company culture tends to be important, and it's hard ot build a culture around community when there's a sense of detachment

As an introvert I do not prefer going to office at all. Plus the traffic, used to waste 2 hours daily just for a 7 km ride. Let the extroverts go to office please and have all the "connect" with their company and fellow team members. I just want to do my work and be done with it. I can't talk to people much or go on stupid outings.

They don’t even provide a computer or any other remote equipment for the completely remote position. Am I making a mistake? Also, can anyone chime in about being a 1099 employee?

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.
