Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - My last round was on 14th Dec 2023 & final documentation completed on 18th Dec, 23. But after documentation, they told me - "Bulk Hiring is going on, so you need to wait."

'As initially Bulk Hiring was going on, Later on leaders were on leave, later on Whole Company People were on leave - Still Understandable from my side. That's why I waited till 15th Jan.

After that I asked about an update? Here comes another Excuse from Hr Poo** that their NEW CFO had approved to hire people under this lesser ** LPA - CTC (as final CTC was discussed in Dec, then also)

So, after a long conversation - HR Poo** ask me that - Tell me your decision, whether you wanna proceed with this or not? Becoz, we do have many other options.

My Personal Advice - Depending on their So called Senior and Hr - Mood, they finalize the candidate & their revised CTC. I'm thankful that they had shown their mindset (before my joining), after joining they do throw many excuses related to Sales, Salary Hold Issue, etc.
