Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - WORST Interviewer ever. Worst Behavior from the interviewer. She was in a bad mood already before joining. She had no respect for the candidate. Within 1 minute of coding question she was getting impatient. Seem like the person had no technical knowlegde and putting up questions from google. As you can see despite of the easy questions and an easy coding problem i failed to secure the interview. All I did was some syntax errors( as I was using an online simulator) but my logic was spot on and following the Big O Notation as well. But with her little googled knowlegde she was arguing about the process I followed to get the problem solved. She was using phrases like "Thats all?" , "I don't think you can code well as you're facing syntax error." (Clearly compliation doesn't agree to you Maa'm.). Clearly I lost my opputunity over a under performing interviewer.

I was interviewed in Nov 2024.

Round 1 - Technical 

(1 Question)

  • Q1. Can we overload main method?
  • Ans. 

    No, the main method in Java cannot be overloaded.

    • The main method in Java is the entry point of a program and must have a specific signature: public static void main(String[] args).

    • Attempting to overload the main method by changing the number or type of parameters will result in a compilation error.

    • Instead of overloading the main method, you can create additional methods in the same class to perform different tasks.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - They are not interested in hiring you. They are just testing your theoretical skills.

They advertise the role one level higher and then after the interview says
'Based on the interview we can't hire you at this level but at same level and salary.'

Purely because they don't have budget.

Do not get disheartened and refrain yourself from accepting the interview invites from PwC from next time. Save yourself from waste of time.
