HR round

I cleared two interview rounds, and today I was supposed to receive a call from HR for salary discussion. Additionally, HR informed me that they would roll out the offer letter today, but I haven't received any update yet. Should I wait, or should I reach out for an update? Also I don't want to look desperate but getting anxious to know ....

Most Pathetic Microsoft Interview Experience after 8 rounds - L61

Education: Tier 3 College TC: ~34L YOE: 3 in PBCs (including MAANG) (Currently SE2) I recently got a chance to interview with Microsoft and it was probably one of the worst interview experiences ever. Team: CCE - Commerce Customer Experience (BEWARE OF THESE FOLKS!) Round 1 - March 27, 2024 An engineer from WA reached out to me via call and told me that they want to interview me for an opening. I was happy and agreed for an interview the next day at night. In the meantime, I asked the seniority, the job description, and the interview structure. He said 4 rounds and sent me a SE2 job description. He asked me DSA and some basic Java Questions. The interview went very well. Self Verdict: Pass Actual Verdict: Pass Round 2 - April 1, 2024 A manager (who would have become my manager if selected), called me. He sits in HYD office. Asked me for an interview. He asked me tougher DSA and System Design. The interview went very well. Self Verdict: Pass Actual Verdict: Pass Round 3 - April 10, 2024 Another person, who is the manager of the 2nd interviewer called me and asked me for an interview. Same, DSA, System Design. The interview went very well. Self Verdict: Pass Actual Verdict: Pass Before round 4, I had to call and write emails to my 3rd round of interviewer to ask for updates as there is no HR involved; and he said, "The position has been put to hold because of some internal restructuring. Please just wait!" Round 4 - April 24, 2024 Another perosn called me from WA, and requested to schedule an interview. I thought this would be my last round. He asked me DSA, and tried to understand my profle and asked me some AA interview like questions. The interview went very well. Self Verdict: Pass Actual Verdict: Pass Now, I was just hoping for a call form the HR to ask me for details to release an offer. But now the twist starts! Read more here:

What kind of a hiring process is this? Need advice

I recently interviewed at a large company. I applied by sending my resume to someone in my network who works there and they forwarded the resume to HR. After that I got a call from HR and they asked for my expected salary among other things to which I answered that I want a 40% hike. I cleared all technical interviews and after that I got a mail saying that they would like to offer me a full time role and asked some of my documents to prepare an offer. I was curious about them asking for documents without having an HR round first so I called the HR and asked some details about the job and she ensured that they can give me a 40% hike on base but not on TC so I assumed they will hike my base and keep the other components in a similar range to what I currently have. I send the documents and on the next day I get a call from HR asking about my expected compensation again, I then ask about their salary structure and they explain that it's all fixed. I was confused on what number to give them so I said that I wanted a 40% hike but since my TC consists of variable components and theirs don't, I would like to know what is the maximum salary they could give me to which the HR replied that they will let me know in a while. It's been more than 24 hours and I haven't heard back. I don't want to call the HR because that might make me look desperate and give them a reason to lowball me but I'm not sure what to do and am even more confused about what kind of process is being followed at this company.

Should I follow up regarding onboarding process?

Hello Developers!!! I am 22M, completed BE in computer Engineering. Upon completion of graduation (May 2023), I worked as an ML engineer (internship); fast forward to December 2023, I had interview scheduled for ML position (off-campus) at reputed company (non-IT), which I passed and after interview in December, I was told to wait for offer letter. Actually, I was referred by the employee of the company. So, till the end of January, I did not receive any update from company regarding offer letter. I asked a person who referred me, he told me that HR has been changed and due to that reason, your onboarding process might be on hold. However, In February new HR got hired and I literally left the hope to receive callback from the company, but after some time I received call from new HR, and again scheduled interview with same manager with whom I was previously interviewed. Manager was quite satisfied with me and asked me If I was ready to join as soon as possible. I assured him to join ASAP. After this interview also I was eagerly waiting for the offer letter; Again, left the hope of receiving any response. However, now it was a beginning of March, and one day I received call from HR, asking for my documents, to release the offer letter. Now it's almost mid-March and again no callback from HR, and no update regarding my joining. It's a journey of 4 months. I never wrote a follow-up mail to HR or manager regarding, onboarding process. Till now I was just asking my referee regarding any updates. It seems cumbersome to him also to ask manager repeatedly regarding my offer-letter. Should I write follow-up mail to either HR or manager. If yes, what should I mention in it? - Thank you
