Now no sound no pix after that, so he went back to his usual pattern posting random things while waiting for a job call.
I interviewed with KPMG as well. The HR girl later called me and said "we will make you an offer. What is your salary and your expectation? When can you join", etc. I answered these questions. A weak later, I inquired about the status and she said "we are benchmarking your salary. Please allow us some time." What precisely is she doing? If KPMG is not making an offer, they can tell me that much. How long does benchmarking take and what are the steps involved? Anyone who knows...
