Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I had 2 rounds of interviews for the position at Wells Fargo. The first round was a teams interview where I was asked questions on Tableau, SQL, and logical reasoning, which I answered successfully and cleared. The second round was an in-person interview on Monday, which required me to take time off from work. This was a managerial interview with no technical questions, except for one about the difference between rank and dense rank.

After the second round, I did not receive any feedback for several days, so I contacted HR to inquire about the status. They assured me they would provide an update, but I did not hear back. I reached out again and was told that I was not selected because I was "not technically strong." This reason seemed misleading, as the second round was not even technical in nature.

My impression is that my current salary expectations may have exceeded their budget for the role. Rather than acknowledging this, it seems they opted to cite a technical deficiency as the reason for my rejection, which I believe was not accurate.
