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.
