Interview Preparation Tips

Round: Resume Shortlist
Experience: Good. No glitches.
Tips: I had made a specific resume for Analytics/ Finance/ Consult profile. Since I had absolutely no economics coursework to talk about, I included a line about interests and wrote "economics, current affairs and languages" under that heading. I think my Data Analytics course and knowledge of quite a few programming languages helped. The 3 main categories in my CV were Academics, Co curricular, and Leadership.

Round: Technical Interview
Experience: Extremely good experience- I was out of the country and they accommodated my needs and video interviewed me. More importantly, there was an audio glitch that we couldn't diagnose- the interviewers were very patient and used Whatsapp call for the entire audio portion of the interview!
Tips: Stay calm, and tell them what you are thinking in clear terms. This way, even if you don't get the final answer, you will be given points for your thought process. I actually approached quite a few problems incorrectly, but since I was explaining my thoughts to them, they quickly helped me course correct by giving hints, and I took it forward from there.

Round: Other Interview
Experience: Again, very good experience! Accommodated my being in a different timezone very well.
Tips: Same as interview one.

General Tips: Stay calm, and prepare "walk me through your CV" properly.
Skill Tips: Study Probab, Geeksforgeeks, etc.
Skills: Probability Concepts, Algorithms And Data Structures, Basic Coding, Ability To Analyse
Duration: 2
College Name: IIT Madras
