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.
