Current company - TCS
Offer in the process - Nagarro (19LPA)
My LWD is 24th May, but I told Nagarro I can be released in 30 days. Now, should I:
1. Be honest and say I can join on 25th May?
2. Commit to 25th April and request a DOJ extension later?(By telling them some emergency)
Q1). If I choose option 1, is there a risk they won’t release the offer?(As I am being hired for a particular project, so will they go for some immediate candidates?)
Q2). If I choose option 2, could they revoke the offer?(As the HR told changing the DOJ in released offer letter is not possible
Nagarro offer: Kindly Help me to decide
Option 1
Option 2
