Practice your PE stories - they will ask a lot of detailed questions. Prepare questions for them.

Cases: don’t use textbook frameworks. Be able to tailor a solid structure to the specific situation. Try to really push your creativity on frameworks, analyses insights, etc. PEI: You’re going to be asked stories based on the 4 things detailed on the firm website. Make sure that you have prepared stories to talk about around each of these things. They will ask you really specific questions to understand your thoughts/feelings/actions. So be prepared to discuss at a nauseating level of detail. Don’t think you’ll be able to bullshit your way through it.

I'm holding an offer from MakeMyTrip and another offer from OlaElectric. Ninjacart is willing to make me an offer. But they're saying that they'd discuss the offer only after the other company that I'm interviewing with has come up with an offer first. There's been a delay from HRs of the companies in a similar way. How do I urge them to send me the offer letter without sounding pushy? I had reached out to some of the HRs myself. Would that be too awkward if I accept & back out their offer?

Hey all, started my role as a recruiter at an agency recently and had my first placement!
