what's your dream brand to work on, what do you do in your spare time, what work of yours never got produced but you loved, what's your favorite piece in your book, how do you filter your ideas to get to the good ones, how do you lead, tell me about yourself, how did you get to where you are now, can you do x/y/z skill...

expect to be asked if you know a random person you're never met, because you're both from the same country so obviously you should know each other....

Hello Guys,
Need small advice,
I had my LWD on 27th june ,before a week of that i had HSbC last round in which I clearly told I wanted to join by 4th july as my next joining is due at that time.
HR agreed and told will fast track your bgv .
Now the problem is they released offer for 11thJuly saying will preponed in case bgv finished early.
Today I again got a mail for 18th july extension.

Am quite worried here now, as I already said no to other companies !should I try looking again.

Would you start with summarising your decision and the whys, or build the story and then provide recos at the end? 20 min presentation with ~8-9 slides.
