Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Don't go for an interview without proper conversation with the HR about the salary. Also the interview panel is really non competent, they will send someone who has literally less experience than you, which means whatever skills you have is not determined by you but by the under experienced person. Such a bad behavior.
