Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Please do not set a foot forward for sustenance engineering in Oracle. Its the worst ever job you could get caught into. The package you negotiate when joining (which is very lean), is only trusted thing you might have which might be same until you retire. Hikes are like urban legend in Oracle, "someone had seen it some years back, cant place it which year though". Managers couldnt get any meaner with their subordinates. Teams play blame game which is how they survive. Even if its the other teams misunderstanding they'd argue and hurl rage at you until you pull out the book where there's a proof of their understanding being wrong. They deduct money from your salary for any outing, gifting or celebrations. Even then if you miss out on grabbing the gift, that wont reach you, simple.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - 1. PLEASE steer clear if you get a call from Oracle. Especially if from sustenance engineering, SOA or any such teams.
2. Only join if you really have to jump from the current org, but keep yourself on toes to jump anywhere from here within 6 months.
3. No matter how good you're experienced that doesnt get valued and your package would be negotiated to far lesser than market value.
4. And you'd have to carry yourself in that package for next 5-8 years before a 2 or 3% hike comes your way.

Round 1 - Technical 

(1 Question)

  • Q1. Implement LRU cache
  • Ans. 

    LRU cache is a data structure that stores the most recently used items, discarding the least recently used items when full.

    • Use a doubly linked list to keep track of the order of items based on their usage.

    • Use a hashmap to quickly access items in the cache.

    • When an item is accessed, move it to the front of the linked list to mark it as the most recently used.

🌟 Expected Salary vs. Market Value for Gen Z in India 🌟
As Gen Z steps into the workforce, there's a noticeable gap between their salary expectations and the current market value. According to recent surveys, Gen Z believes they need an average salary of ₹14 lakhs to feel financially healthy. However, the reality is quite different, with the average Gen Z worker earning around ₹2-7 Lakhs annually. This disparity highlights the challenges and aspirations of the youngest generation in the workforce. While their expectations may seem high, it's essential to understand the factors driving these numbers, such as rising living costs, student debt, and the desire for financial security. Employers need to bridge this gap by offering competitive salaries, growth opportunities, and a supportive work environment. On the other hand, Gen Z should focus on building skills, gaining experience, and understanding market trends to align their expectations with reality. Let's work together to create a balanced and thriving workforce for the future! 💼🌍
