Hi Fishes,

I got an offer letter from Mindtree before but they did not meet my salary expectations - hence after informing the recruitment HR i let the offer expire as she promised that she will be sending me another offer soon.

Till last Friday the status of offer was Offer Released and now from Saturday it is Offer in Progress.

Is she working on my revised offer letter ?
