Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - As you can see, their interview process is tedious. They had arranged a meeting for interview with so many hierarchical managers. And then also I was rejected. Also this rejection was not communicated by them. I called the HR and then they told me that they are moving forward with a better candidate who has a shorter notice period, which is something I informed them well in advance in 1st round itself. The company looking for an immediate joiner has a interview process of 6 rounds, this is unbelievable.

Resume Review and Suggestion
I’m a Full Stack Developer with 2 years of experience working with the MERN stack, AWS (EC2, S3), Docker, GitHub Actions (CI/CD), Redis, and WebSockets. I'm looking for honest feedback — structure, wording, what to cut/add, or how it reads from a recruiter’s perspective. Not targeting any region specifically, just want to be resume-ready for product-based and backend-focused roles.
