I would recommend getting victor cheng’s look over my shoulder. Don’t just use his frameworks but it’s useful to listen to get down the cadence of a case interview and what you can think about saying at certain points. Then build off of his framework and do as many live cases as you can. You should do 20 before your interview.

I have been offered a position of Senior Developer- Senior Associate 1 in PwC AC Bangalore with 19LPA fixed.

Also HR said that I can work from Anywhere so it means I need not relocate. Is this true?
