Feeling a little nervous about an interview I have today. It’s only a phone interview with the recruiter but still...it’s been about 2 years since I’ve interviewed.

You’ll be fine. Just review your resume again before the call, get some coffee or tea, and figure out if you prefer sitting down or standing up while on the phone (I personally like standing up). And breathe and smile before the call - happiness can be felt over the phone

Just remember, keep it to the point about your skills and indirectly why they would want to pass you on to the next round. But, don't say more than you need to

Suppose you are 3 months pregnant and interviewing for a job. Would you disclose to the recruiter that you are expecting or is there no need to give that information until after being hired? As for the compensation, if you’ve already been told pre-interview, the salary range for the role, is it appropriate to negotiate a number for the salary if you are asked your desired salary in the first screening interview? Or should you try to hold off on the negotiation after you receive an offer?

KPMG I cleared all the rounds of my interview with KPMG and was asked to provide necessary documents and fill a CAF form a week back and had a HR discussion too. I have requested for about 3Lakhs additional fixed pay since my current CTC has increased and HR said she will get back on this. It's been a week and haven't heard back on the offer letter. How long do you think I should wait. Please wait.
