The entire process took 1 month. I got the recruiter's call from naukri, then after 2 weeks my 1st round of interview was scheduled There were 2 Technical rounds of interview and 1 HR round. You have to be through with whatever mentioned in the resume.

I had to go through a total of 4 rounds of rigorous interviews sometimes lasting up to 1.5 hours and when I’m in the last stage of interview, the hiring manager says they’ve liked me and would like to hire me BUT suddenly have no budget to create a FTE position? Spent 2 months preparing and working hard going through hoops of interviews only to be told at the end that there was no budget. Why open a role then? The HR contact promised to let me know when the budget is granted and of course I got ghosted! Promises over promises only get ghosted in the end. Please check this with your hiring manager if you’re a potential candidate so you don’t suffer the same fate as I did
