Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I had a pathetic experience when I was offered a package which was already below industry standards. When I tried to negotiate and asked for another 5% increase, the HR came back after a week with an offer lower than the one originally offered. I guess BDO rise wants standard employees at a below than average pay.

Just be careful and never join an organisation which undervalues you. Better opportunities will surely come if you have the experience and skill set.

I applied via Naukri.com and was interviewed in Mar 2021. There were 5 interview rounds.
