My first walk-in..

Last weekend i attend a walk-in, its IBM walk-in, but i attend without any intension of get thro' until they offered me a good work or great package. As usual it was very late when i slept on Saturday night but somehow I manage to got up early morning on Sunday , modified my resume and went to Bandra-Kurla complex (BKC). it is too big complex. I never been there somehow manage to reach there around 1 PM. Complex is too clean and huge one looks like a small city.

There were lots of panel. I told them that i want to attend both for java and unix as i do have any stable technology on my history, but they asked me to first attend for unix and we think abt the java since interviews are different.

So I stepped into the IBM office (that looks like a IBM sales office) with a visitors tag.Then i filled an self assessments form. After that they called me for the technical interview, it went for more than an hour They asked me almost in all the technology( c, c++, sql, DBMS, OS, Unix, OOPS, DS, .. ) some how i managed to answer more then 85 % of the question without any preparation then u can thing of how basic questions are they ?!?!?! Also i was explaining abt myself and the project i did and my roles in the projects and my daily work routines.

After this interview, they again called me and asked to fill the employment form. It was much clear abt my selection.I called my fri'd in IBM who fwded this openning.I asked abt the office and there policies. In the mean while i also enquire abt the other ppl who already came out this 2nd round that is PDM. its just a pay negotiation. so i went to the 2nd round, they directly asked abt my expectation. i mentioned abt 6+ and discussion went and went finally i came down to 5 - 5.5 till that time they didn't told abt there package eventho' i asked lot of time then i asked abt the work, its again that same support work. my face become like this :( And i confirm that its for IBM global solution but not for IBM s/w limited then my face gone like :(((. Finally they started with 3.75. It was total disappointment.I know they can come upto 4.5 but I simple refused the offer as both the pay and works were not so good.

Anyhow, I really enjoyed my first walkin and it gave me lots of confidents about myself.Thanks and good bye IBM.
