Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The HR agreed with the package whatever I had asked for . Since they have variable components , after adding that to fixed component(my demand) the entire package was exceeding what I had expected .
And then HR asked me to check with my current company's HR if I can get an early relief . He was keen to provide me joining on Next Monday itself. This discussion was happening on Friday 8:00 pm .

But post this neither I received offer letter nor joining letter . Either in mail or in any other way .
Since I had to join I had asked for early relief and also got that till Thursday .

Till this date also I did not receive any communication from Cerence team . When I started calling them they did not answered my call .

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Do not trust on this company even after you get the offer . They are Cheaters .This has happened with me .
After having all discussion , in HR round , my date of joining was agreed as either 2nd April 2024 or 25 March .
My last date in my previous organization was 31st March , but I asked for an early relive so that I can join here . My request was entertained and I was given relieving letter as on 22nd March .
I handed this to the concerned HR as well to get all the formalities done.

But post this no update from there . After my 4-5 follow up , HR replied to me that now they are looking for another candidate for the same role and he can not share much detail on this .

Now I am in this condition that I have left my job and have joined no where . As I had turned down another offer which I had that time in my hand , for these frauds .
