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.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - WORST Interviewer ever. Worst Behavior from the interviewer. She was in a bad mood already before joining. She had no respect for the candidate. Within 1 minute of coding question she was getting impatient. Seem like the person had no technical knowlegde and putting up questions from google. As you can see despite of the easy questions and an easy coding problem i failed to secure the interview. All I did was some syntax errors( as I was using an online simulator) but my logic was spot on and following the Big O Notation as well. But with her little googled knowlegde she was arguing about the process I followed to get the problem solved. She was using phrases like "Thats all?" , "I don't think you can code well as you're facing syntax error." (Clearly compliation doesn't agree to you Maa'm.). Clearly I lost my opputunity over a under performing interviewer.
