Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Be who you are. Never settle for less than what you think you deserve. There is no such concept as standard salary for a particular post. Whatever bid you give, if you have the convincing power, and they have the intention to keep you, they will keep you on your quoted salary.
Your last downpayment is not the parameter to decide your new salary.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - If you’ve got a lot of spare time, then apply. People who would like to save their time can skip. The company takes numerous rounds and doesn’t feel necessary to at least give you a reason for rejecting your candidature. They send you the same impersonalised email they copy/paste to everyone. I lost 2 leaves and numerous hours, all for them to send me a mass rejection email after 2 weeks. Good thing I got an offer elsewhere, much higher than I asked these guys for.
