Posting for my roommate who is wrapping up (getting kicked out since his boss ran out of funding) his applied math postdoc.

I’m not happy in my current job and each day is a drag. I don’t see any internal hiring elsewhere any soon and no promotion in sight. I got verbal yes from Splunk but the pay gap is close to none.

Info needed for moving candidature forward: Name, cgpa, internal refrences, expected comp, promotion summary, gaps in employment, achievements etc. Does this mean my interviews went good and they are moving to HC? Or does this happen irrespective of performance? TC 39lpa YoE 1.7
What does it mean I was deferred for a promotion? And not rejected. They mentioned the gap I need to close is that I need to be more visible, especially with management.
