Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - The interviewer came with the ego of rejecting the candidate. I've attempted paytm's interview thrice in my life and every time it feels one of the interviewer is just frustrated with his job and has came up with the sole purpose of rejecting the candidates. They ask irrelevant questions which has nothing to do with your day to day working in the company.
If you feel that you need a good work environment where people are not frustrated, don't attempt this companies interview.
