Expect very tactical and unstrategic questions. For some reason the higher up the chain you go the more nitty gritty the questions and answers become.

Case is likely to be more informal, like a partner walking you through and actual case they have worked on, potentially with minimal or no specific figures or math. Really they just want to test how you think about problem they faced while also determining whether they like you and if you’re a fit for the firm. Partners are basically given free reign in how they do this so experiences will vary more widely vs. first round.

Hello,

I have cleared interview with Wipro a month ago and after 15 days I received a simple mail from HR saying you are selected.

Since that day, there is no communication from HR team of Wipro . I tired of sending multiple emails and when I tried to call he always declines my call.

Between director of respected technology is reaching me and he wants me to join ASAP and take over the project work.

What should I do now?

Thanks
