Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I could clear both the rounds and salary discussion was the only thing left I decided not to join the company because of the way HR handled the process.
Based on the HR behaviour, I can say there is no respect for an employee/ candidate.
The behaviour was like as if I am at the mercy of the employer and I don't have any other company in this world.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Answered almost all questions but still the interviewer gave feedback as, cannot write pyspark code. Although there was only one pyspark coding question and I did it.
In fact interviewer turned camera off several times between and missed responding for a few seconds.
He even didn't tell me to share screen to see what I code.

Totally not serious about the interview..
