I got dinged from them, but tips from my peers:
- Know your application inside and out. Be prepared to answer “why” for anything you list there. It is YOUR application, so you should know best.
- Understand the recent and future trends in your industry. What is making the news? What disrupters are out there?
- Expect to be cut off since they rapid fire questions to try and apply pressure. If you maintain a calm facade, then you should be ok.

I had my interview.

Definitely connect with the HBS AlumniChat for insights - mine helped a lot.
- First question she asked was “what did you have to give up to get where you are today” .. and all questions became harder and harder (requiring much introspection)
- Was asked a lot about my resume and experience
- Was asked in the end about what I wanted to talk about that was not discussed
- Cut off exactly at 30-minute mark
- Interview does not flow well as questions jump from one to the other

Hi,
I am done with all round of TCS even started with a negotiation round too. First call HR said we can give you 16lpa including variables. I have tried to go for a fixed 16lpa. And now she says Management only afford 12lpa. Even at the same time she says you deserve 14-15lpa fixed as per market, the mangt can only afford 12lpa. Back to back call from HR. Doc verification started what it means? They have a good budget as far as I know from consultancy.

Ex:6 BA current CTC 8.5.
Please suggest.

I rented a house that had been vacant for a bit & the prior tenant didn’t do a thorough job cleaning up. Agent indicated the owner would be open to having the house cleaned but I would need to have the house professionally cleaned when I moved out (that was fine w me). I just received the bill from the owner for $250, which is super annoying bc there was no expectation communicated that I would foot the bill for this, more so bc the cleaner did a LOUSY job.
