Interview Preparation Tips

Round: technical interview
Experience: There were 3 rounds, All related to statistics and machine learning and whatever stuffs I had mentioned in my resume. HR round was not there. The partner of the firm just briefed me a bit about the company and asked me to relax without asking any questions in the third round.

Tips: Interview will be fun if you are thorough about your resume and it will be a cakewalk to you.

General Tips: Do's :
1. Prepare for Aptitude very seriously. Puzzles are important but aptitude is must.
2. Be thorough about everything you had specified in your resume
3. Be honest while creating your resume (It helps a lot)

Don'ts :
1. Don't get broken if you are not getting selected in Day 1 or 2 or so.
2. Don't over-prepare for case interviews, they are fairly simple.



Final Tips :
Be confident about yourself. Your attitude in the interview matters a lot. And don't lie even a bit in your resume. Many got selected with a poor resume than those with huge exaggerations.
