I was interviewed in Dec 2024.

Round 1 - Technical 

(1 Question)

  • Q1. Basic Question about TDS DEDUCTION IN DIVISION

Interview Preparation Tips

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - I was invited for an interview and ended up with waiting for 3.5 hours before being called in when the interview from accounts department finally arrived, I was asked only one basic question about TDS deduction in division, which I answered correctly. After that the discussion shifted to my salary and they mentioned that my salary expectation were beyond their budget.
The entire interview lasted barely 3-5 minutes.it was disappointing to see that they hadn’t aligned the budget for the role beforehand yet still called an experienced Candidate for an interview wasting both my time and money.
I hope the company considers candidates time as valuable and ensures proper planning in the future to avoid such situations.
