Alternate documents for Employee verification?
My new employer asked for my previous offer letters and salary slips. When I inquired, they said it was for background verification.
However, I feel that providing these documents might affect salary negotiations, and it feels a bit unethical too.
What alternative documents can I provide for employment verification?

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: It was not that difficult and so the cut offs were high. I started the quant preparation from RS Agarwal (found it too repetitive so stopped midway) and started with Arun Sharma(first 2 levels of few important topics like logical reasoning and statistics).Always target to be in the top so that you have your interviews early because last year the hiring team were in a hurry and so they rushed with the interviews of later part students. Few people call these LUCK FACTORs.
Tips: Remember the imp. topics would be Probability, Statistics ,Work-Time.
Round: Case Study Interview
Experience: Questioned me about my college activities , few common puzzles and then came the most interesting part. They gave me a case study based on sports since I had mentioned my interests. It had to do with probability, Bayes Theorem and logic...sum real bad logic...I liked this even though I had no basic idea of how to start with this .It was as if He was teaching me there itself on these .We discussed a lot-almost 20 minutes on this .At times he used to stress out few questions and I had to ensure that I stayed firm with my answers. They try to confuse you. You just keep smiling and be firm with your answers. Stay damn confident with yours. Then he moved onto another case study wherein I had to list all types of data to be collected , decisions to be made if I were to start an ice-cream shop in a famous shopping mall. It was a discussion wherein I needed to justify my decisions on how to make maximum profits in any situation. Took almost 45 minutes to come out
Round: Puzzle Interview
Experience: This one was with a very cool person who continuously kept on offering me Oreo biscuits This round had to do with puzzles which you will find in How to Ace the BrainTeaser (I don’t recollect which were the puzzles). I could answer 3 of the 5 asked. Then he moved to C programming. Asked me to write code to print few patterns , optimize them further and that was it. Took hardly 20 minutes for this round.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: He started with questions like Why Data analytics ? Where could this field be used ?(almost everywhere-just for facts : almost every top IT firm especially the banking firms are having a data analytics team) We had discussions on different topics that he raised. One of them which I remember is: Suppose one of the hospitals in your city has been having an increasing number of patients, then please quote the possible factors leading to the ill-health of the citizens. How to ease the different issues in medical field using data analysis? It was just a discussion and I was quite sure that he liked my points.I also asked him about how to utilize this field of data analysis to improve the current business markets of India and how differently did countries like USA used data for business than in INDIA. Overall this was an interactive session. He kept me busy and I also did keep him busy answering my questions. This might have lasted for 40 minutes and then it was all over

5 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: It was held couple of days before their interview process. Test consisted of Quant, Logical reasoning and Verbal Ability, similar to CAT pattern but was comparatively easy. They shortlisted approximately 80 students for interview process.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: It was a mix of mostly HR + few probability questions. It was a 40min interview. It was a good interview as I was able to answer all his question and could easily solve the probability questions.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: It was all technical wherein the interviewer asked me 4-5 puzzles and some probability questions. I was able to answer most of the puzzles correctly but got stuck in one of the probability questions.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Final HR round. Here the interviewer was continuously grilling me by stating that my profile is not coherent with their job description. I maintained my composure and was able to handle the situation with ease.
General Tips: Do’s :
Apart from all preparation :
• Take proper sleep whenever given a chance to. Do not skip meals.
• Prepare about the company in advance, last minute preparation might lead to a panic situation. Ask your friends (not sitting in placements) to help you prepare.
• Take someone to the interviews. He/She will manage your interviews accordingly. It’s also a motivating factor.
• Always carry a smile when going to an interview. You should not appear stressed.
Don’ts :
• Don’t try to delay things. Prepare a timeline for preparation. Don’t accumulate things post end sem, because you will have to appear for a lot of tests after that. Hence you get limited time for preparation.
• Don’t be in a false assumption that if you possess a strong profile (PORs, Extra currics etc.) you will make it through the interviews. It can only help you fetch an interview. You have to work hard to clear that interview.

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Duration: 45 minutes minutes
Total Questions: 40
Round: guesstimate interview
Experience: As I belong to the Civil Engineering background, I was initially asked to justify how I am suited for analytics. I had an intern on marketing so he asked few simple questions on that. After that he gave me guesstimate. As I was solving the guesstimate, the interviewer was constantly questioning my approach and asking me to specify the source of every data (for eg. Population of India 1.2 bn, Source: Census report 2%) and he also kept questioning my approach and made me do the same guesstimate by three approach. After that he asked few puzzles which were simple and I was able to solve them.
Round: hr interview
Experience: Initially some HR questions and some simple probability questions. This was a very friendly and easy interview.
Round: hr interview
Experience: It was with the partner and it was a short interview (10 mins) and was entirely HR and he also asked few questions on my resume. It was more of a normal chit chat that an interview. I was given the offer.
General Tips: Do’s :
1. Practice in groups (aptitude, cases, guesstimates).
2. For HR preparation, if you are not sure about your communication skills it is good to practice aloud in your room or record while rehearsing.
3. Be energetic in the interview, try to drive the interview on your own.
Don’ts :
1. Take HR for granted if you have good soft skills.
2. For cases its better to practice mock rather than just reading through the case books.
