When's the best time post-undergrad to apply from another consulting firm? I'm approaching one year at a T2 after a handful of unsuccessful final rounds across MBB during recruiting. Does it make sense to wait for 2 YOE? Is applying noe best? etc.

Now!!!! Whenever they are hiring the most is key and now hiring is at pretty much unprecedented highs for experienced hires. You most likely won’t get tenure credit and come in at post-undergrad level…with 2 yoe you may get ~1 year of tenure..but IMO not worth waiting who knows what hiring needs will be like then.

Apply now, and if it doesn't work, you can try again in another year.

Are we allowed to be as obvious as possible during interviews on what clients we worked on so long as we don’t say their name? Ex: one of my clients went through a huge merger in x industry in my city, and if I were to state that in interviews it would be a dead give away. Is that okay?

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.
