Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Worst experience ever. After clearing the 1st round, which was 3 hours long, I received a call from HR discussing about the expected CTC. They said it would be possible as I was asking only for a 30% hike as I also needed to relocate to Pune. Then I gave the interview, after which the HR said I cleared the round, but the expected CTC is too much and would be reaching out to the manager. But I have not heard anything back and it has been more than a month.

I applied via Company Website and was interviewed in Nov 2020.
