  • In team settings, I sometimes hesitate to share my ideas until I'm completely sure they're perfect.

  • I have a tendency to take on too many responsibilities, which can lead to burnout.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I have cleared the technical round and pdm round. Post that I had a compensation discussion with the HR and mentioned that I am happy with the offer. After that the compensation team told that you will receive offer letter within 2 weeks after you submit BGV form. So, I followed up with HR via email and phone, for first 1 month, I did not receive any response from them. After 1 month, I followed up via email and hr told we will not be able to going ahead with the candidature as we did not receive necessary approvals from management. This is very pathetic response from a company like IBM that they wasted my time with false hope and commitment. I am writting this here to inform to the people who will be getting interviewed post May 2025. I got interviewed on April. This is very pathetic experience from IBM. My suggestion to folks who wanted to join IBM, please do not join IBM post April 2025. If you have other offer, you can go for it. You will be ruining your career.
