You should be able to do this from scratch man or you’re going to struggle in the job. You can find guides but not templates online through the interview prep services like Wallstreetoasis. I would get one of those, practice hard and then crush the next one you have to do

What is the salary for Software Engineer position at Optum?

I recently interviewed for a small strat consulting company (energy industry). I have 3 YoE and would be moving from engineering. the HR person asked me what my salary expectations were I was caught offguard and said I would expect it to be at least what I make now (around 100k). Im now worried theyll lowball me because I really shouldve asked for 120+bonus (I think this is market rate?) But they have salary bands they follow right?So if they pay consultants 140 usually would they offer me 100k?
