Waiting for HSW decisions — I have a senior partner who’s an alum at one of these schools, and he doesn’t like me and probably has bad things to say about my candidacy. Low chance that he even knows that I interviewed but would anyone send a bad note about an applicant to admissions? And will admissions actually consider that?

Definitely possible and they’d definitely consider it, but nothing you can do about it now so don’t worry!! :)

THIS. Nothing you can do, so don’t worry.

They’d definitely look at it because it’s highly unusual for anyone to go out of their way to send a note of non-recommendation.

Why do they hate you? 😂

As an alum, I would never send an email to school with feedback unless extreme on either end. Unless he thinks there are clear ethics/risk to the school brand in the future etc., he def wouldn’t take the time to do this. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks, everyone.

I got very anxious for the first time surrounded by bad thoughts and worries (including this one); I realized that this is such a low chance that I should just brush off and not think much about it anymore. Appreciate the comments and thoughts. Good luck to fellow applicants waiting to hear back this week!

Hi,

I recently gave interview in Hexaware on October 17th. They sent me the CAF form link to fill on the day of interview itself because I cleared all the rounds. I have filled that form and sent my documents for verification but I still haven't received the offer letter. I didn't resign from my current company because I want to resign after getting the offer letter only. Do they send the offer only if we resign and tell them the LWD? And how long does Hexaware takes to release the offer?

Got dread? Picture yourself having a great day. Managing all the yuk makes for a successful day.

In an effort to improve my interactions with the sales organization and my AE counterparts, I've been researching and studying various literature, webinars, and blogs.

I'm still unsure how to convince them and their leadership of the importance of appropriate discovery for a successful demonstration.

They won't schedule discovery calls for technical issues, and instead, they're concentrating on showcasing new features.

What are you doing to get around this obstacle?
