UBS If I had to move within the company to a different location , how does it work? For example if I move from low cost of living area to high cost of living area does the company re-evaluate the base salary within USA? Or do they come back and mention its your family requirement since your partner is located and you are moving ?Suggestions or experiences any !

Why were you doing long multiplication? If the numbers are ugly round them up or down so they’re easy to multiply in your head, and then adjust the answer up or down to accommodate. You should be able to consistently get within 5% of the actual answer with practice. And then just ask the interviewer if it’s okay to round them or if they want precise numbers. Buys you the time to do the math properly if they actually care.
I guess there's my issue then. I should have clarified that with my interviewer. Thanks

Just tell them it’s silly to do maths. IRL you have the bots doing that for you
Yeah but chances are good your interviewer will want you to do the math
Structuring the math > calculations. You having to redo a few times isn’t great, but if the rest really went well, then I’d say you’re ok
Messed up my numbers in my final round case and then caught my mistake and fixed it. You should be fine if the other parts went well!
