Housing.com Interview Questions, Process, and Tips

General Tips: If all goes well, you can expect the offer letter in a day or two. The pay would mostly align with what your expected salary was. Mine did. But I wouldn’t say it depends on the number of years of experience you have. People with less experience do get better offers. I did. In case you are still not satisfied with the offer, you can discuss with the HR and see if it could be reconsidered.
