Was going through the interview process @ BCG and cleared 3 rounds. Yesterday the hiring HR called and said that they are pausing the hiring for now and would pick up ( only if possible) in couple of months. Really disappointed, I am not sure if anyone else had similar experience in this unpredictable economic scenario.

I cleared the Interview for SDET in Oracle today in the Manager discussion, He asked about the Expectations and I told 25 lpa, He said we cant pay that much as Your current is 14.7.
I said I can be flexible and minimum i can go for is 22 Lpa as i have another offer of 25 but considering oracle brand value i am ready to go settle but he said I can't offer you this much and left the zoom call. So How much oracle is offering for SDET of 8 Years of Experience?
