Is it okay to use office laptop for interview? I have a personal laptop but it is being used by my college going younger brother and I don't want to bother him.

Depends on company. If you have some software installed specifically for tracking then don't. But if its not there (general case), then don't use Google Chrome for personal activities because in most cases it is tracked by your organization. You can use Brave or Firefox for personal browsing. I also used my company laptop for all my interviews and I did not get any notice or warning.

I have done that zillion times and once with my company's virtual background on (by mistake).
Even after all of this, I continued to work with the same firm for 2 more years.

Nothing happens, if they really don't want you to do such things, they would block those sites.
So enjoy.

I am not sure about every firm but in my firm, things that are not allowed, are blocked.

For eg. You cannot upload anything anywhere, it won't happen. You cannot send email to external email IDs without exception request. You cannot install free extensions to IDEs - won't work.
While you can watch hotstar, prime, netflix, youtube, twich, discovery+, sonyliv, etc.

Its a big Fintech.
Oh ya, and in my previous firm, I gave interviews for startups from meeting rooms, in office from office laptop. It was pre-covid time.
Once a teammate, who came from WITCH and has been in the firm for 8 years told me that zoom calls are monitored and you should be careful of conversations. I just smiled and said, oh is it 🙂

Yes. And your managers will be very happy to know about that

Boot from USB. It won't matter if its zscaler or whatever

Khudka RDP server Lelo, agar utna risky lag raha hai and connect the RDP from office system.

Use your office laptop no one bothers.

Depends if the system allows. For example: My HCL laptop didn't allow me to attend any interviews. It had some setting which blocked something unofficial.
Whereas my Tech Mahindra laptop allowed interviews.
So if it allows, then go for it. It shouldn't be a problem.

Take it on phone. I dont think you have to share screen on do anything specific where laptop is needed. Phone camera will also make you look much better than you laptop.

Use krlo, but make sure you don't upload data from laptop or send emails with attachments, this will trigger security breach. In our org, we can mention mail sent has personal data but in my previous organisation it was not allowed to even log in personal email.

Use office laptop. That's the best use of it

Kuch ni hota or else people will use this trick as early release from the company.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
