Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Please discuss about expected CTC multiple times with HR.
I received the offer but declined due to significant gap in the compensation package which falls below my current CTC and well short of my expectations. While recruiter was very supportive and engaged ,it seemed that there wasn't a strong commitment from hiring manager to retain or align on this.

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I faced a challenge throughout the interview due to the interviewer's unstable internet connection. despite politely informing him about the connectivity issue multiple times (approx 10 to 15 times), the problem persisted, As a result, I missed several parts of the conversation and had to ask for clarification.
at one point the interviewer seemed annoyed, eventually, the interview concluded abruptly without proper communication.
It was disappointing that no effort was made to rectify the situation. It felt like a waste of time.
