Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Not a good experience. Some recruiters are very arrogant and have no respect for the people interviewing with them. They consider as themselves dummy kings, because they are working in Deloitte USI. I interacted with 4-5 recruiters for one opening (from Gurgaon / Hyderabad). One HR even said to me that I was not the only person interviewing with them, they have bunch of people to chose, also various other things were said in a very unprofessional and rude manner. She had no ethics of talking to an experienced resource, when I escalated this to the seniors, they immediately apologized for her behavior and I was then handled by another Senior HR

I applied via referral in Deloitte USI but to save their referral bonus (I guess), they rejected my profile on the portal and called me through Naukri.com. When I asked them the reason, they said its for a different profile them. however it was for the same one.
Also on their career site, it was not mentioned that role is of fixed term hire (for 2 years), but HR disclosed it later, during the conversation. (another discrepancy)

During my initial conversation, HR clearly said there won't be any night shifts and I would have to work from client's location in Gurgaon office. Although it is 2 year contractual role.
But during my technical interview, the person clearly said to me that I would have to relocate to Bangalore for working from client's secured ODC in office. Also there would be rotational/ night shifts (without any extra pay). Basically they were looking for someone who would devote his 24X7 time to the company for a minimal salary and does not demand for work life balance or weekends off

Neither the HR nor the interviewer opened their web camera during the video call. But HR kept asking me to keep my camera open, even during the waiting time

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - First, secure an interview and obtain an offer letter with a 40% salary increase. After that, negotiate with your current company; if the negotiations do not yield favorable results, use the same offer letter to apply to another company for a higher salary. Ensure to confirm the total cost to company (CTC) they are offering before attending interviews; if their budget does not align with yours, it would waste time for both parties.They may not respond to candidates though interview went well because they may move with lower salary expectations.
