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?

Has anyone done the Blackstone pymetrics?
After submitting my resume for the Global Finance and Business Management full time position at JP Morgan (my dream job!), I got a HireVue invite the next day! However, I completed it 9 days ago and still have no response....
When do we get a response in average, and after how much time does it mean I probably am not getting an offer to continue?
Thanks!

People who have gone to schools without an abundance of prestige have certainly done well in the industry. Still, it's an obvious boost to have a prestigious school in your background. All you can do is prove yourself and perform at a high level. At some point what you can do for the enterprise today and tomorrow and into the future will carry more weight than where you played lacrosse a decade or two ago.
Because clients place value on prestige - those from prestigious institutions have connections to other accomplished/ambitious/wealth people.
Performance is not always rewarded over connections
The right school is networking, alumni, things that will always get looked at first over performance. It’s a harder path, but you absolutely can go to a “normal” school and still do well in your career.
