Both times I made eye contact with him and immediately closed it. Who the hell does he think he is?

Tell this person if they wanted to control the window then they should have booked a window seat.

I don’t mind that. What gets me upset on a 6am flight is when 3/4 of the plane is sleeping right after take off and they go into announcements about coke products or buy the American Express Card. If you want to thank your platinum members do it by not making announcements from 6 to 8am.

Hi all,

I had two technical rounds in tcs last month and now I have got the offer letter from tcs.

But I found one thing unusual that I did not have any salary negotiation call neither any hr round.

They released offer letter directly on ibegin portal with 60% hike on my current ctc .

Should I consider this as a fake recruitement.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Thanks
