I have a bad feeling that it's already over for us folks who haven't heard back yet. *sigh*

Hmm. In that case you have to think pros and cons. I definitely think not attending the team exercise won't hurt your chances, but attending it and killing it there might really make you stand out. If it is the time, I think it is a no brainer. If it is a really tight $$ issue, then I would probably not do it. But only if you absolutely cannot make it.

Unfortunately, there are no interview dates in Mumbai around 19th Nov along with the team exercise *sigh* I thought I could do the interview and team exercise in one trip.
