Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Interview Experience : ( Go with your knowledge, Theory will not help you )
Started with Interview Examination 2 problem questions. It was easy nothing complicated.
Technical round. Share the screen and solve three problem questions that was easy and after that you will be questioned about technology that you worked on. You will be able to answer if you have hands on experience on it.
Third round. Behavioural interview it will be very friendly and fun filled chat.
Then you got the offer .. Smooth till here ..

Onboarding Experience:
You will get a zip of documents. No one in the world will help you if you do not know what it is. Try to google and fill whatever you get in mind that's it. People who hired you will let you know about the company introduce to the project after that.

Project Experience:
Still old technologies like java 8 ( supported only till March 2022 ). If vendor is your lead they will do whatever to close their deliverables. If have something that need be reused sorry buddy, Follow them and scrap out your work whatever you have done is always "not a recommended approach".

Overall if you are looking for place for learning and exploring technologies believe me the industry is far ahead. If you are beginner you can learn how business and company operates here.
