Interview Preparation Tips
Round: CODING ROUND
Experience: In the coding round there were 3 questions to be solved in about 3 hrs.
Round: HR Interview
Experience: Expect the usual crazy questions like "Why LinkedIn?" and if you are already placed, be ready to give a proper justification for "Why LinkedIn and not XYZ?" so on. Be cool, you need not be accurate. Be well prepared with your resume and expect questions from them.
Tips: For the interview, just be confident and have a good resume ready with you.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: Coding Interview:
Simple coding questions. Make sure you first explain the logic to them and then you may be asked to write the code for it on the board using any language of your choice. Syntax is not a big deal, but don't make any logical errors. They are very friendly and may suggest certain solutions of their own. Make sure you can grasp them quickly. Find faults in your own code before they find it. Always try to give the best optimal solution. In case you are unable to do so then suggest possible improvements.
Round: Other Interview
Experience: Design Interview:
Some people may find this round a bit uneasy. But this round tests how good you are at designing solutions to problems. Most of the candidates were asked to build an online gaming system. And then they keep adding extra constraints and ideas and see if you can integrate them to your design. Database knowledge may be tested. They may also ask questions pertaining to you projects listed in your resume.
General Tips: An updated LinkedIn account with decent connections. ;)
Skill Tips: Be very strong with your coding ability. Whenever you code, do follow some standard procedures and make the code look simple and structured. Whenever you solve a coding question make sure you answer it completely for all the test cases. Partial results will only indicate that there is something wrong with the logic. Try to solve a complete question rather than multiple questions with partial results.

Interview Preparation Tips
General Tips: It might help in general to try to become a better developer at all times. One way to get good at it is to really enjoy what you do!Do random projects, use linux, Read Hacker News (-----/) daily and wear hippie computer t-shirts (:-P) - Interviewers really LOVE talking about these, especially HR rounds (my HR interviewer was also a programmer).

Indian Startups

a senior executive
One of the best sources for Startup investment: DAHEJ(DOWRY)
You won't believe my senior has a good corporate job with over 10 years of experience.
But suddenly resigned just a few days after his wedding.
We all thought maybe he got married and wants to spend his time with his wife, and decided to go to his place to give him a proper farewell.
All of us got shocked after knowing that he left because his father-in-law gifted him a fat cash amount and a car in the name of "blessings."
He’s using the money to fund his startup and the car for "business movement."
I mean seriously?
People are now using dowry as startup capital and walking around acting like CEOs, playing boss with someone else’s money.
Bas, shaadi karo aur apne sapne chalu karo, courtesy sasural.
I don't know feeling inspired? Or disgusted?

Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: First round was a simple round which involved 10 multiple choice questions and 3 coding questions on hackerrank platform.
Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Mainly on topics like networks, data structures and algorithms, operating systems. The interviewers looked for people who have had prior experience in web development and asked questions regarding web development in depth too.
Tips: I recommend everyone to read the book titled, 'Cracking the Coding Interview' as it was helpful in my approach to an interview.
General Tips: The one major thing that would give you the edge in joining Myntra would definitely be exposure to web development. Since it is not a part of the curriculum , it's all the more important for you to familiarize yourself with web development. In fact, a few projects in the same field would put you in a very advantageous position to get the job.
Skill Tips: 1. Start your placement preparations well ahead, no point regretting later.
2. Keep a concise resume. Do not take your resume to several pages.
3. Do not neglect aptitude preparation. Many people do this mistake and end up not clearing the first round for several companies.
4. Be thorough with your basics across all subjects. (Do not neglect any subject, even they you may like a few and dislike the others.)
5. Keep in mind, the interviewers are really friendly and try to make sure that you're not nervous during the interview. All they want to do is to test you. Be confident and give it your best shot.
