You will probably be keeping track of interviews most likely. You will also have an apprentice coach to make sure you’re doing the right stuff. You’ll probably be eased into working with the model on projects after 3-6 months. Good luck!

Hi everyone. I’m a front end software engineer.

How would you approach asking the recruiter if there are any SWE openings I could be considered for instead ?

HCL Technologies offer being delayed and recruiter keeps saying that there's a problem with their "Offer release portal system." I have already stated my issues with relocating until after I have the offer signed and ready. The project is supposed to start on the 19th and I'm supposed to join before, or on that date. It's already coming up soon and I don't have the official offer so that I can confidently start the relocation process. Has anyone else recently dealt with this?
