Always err on the conservative side. Nothing too loud, make sure you polish your shoes. Once you secure the job you can add more personalization of your wardrobe. And lose the fragrance, I interviewed a fellow once whose scent was in the room an hour after he left. It was a deciding factor for us, unfortunately for him.

Hello Fishs,

I have given 3 rounds of interview for the position of SE- B8 , i.e. Lead SE. Now in salary discussion round i asked HR for a CTC between a range of 31-34L. But they told me max they can give is 29.5L. I still did not accepted the initial offer from HR, it is going again one more round for salary negotiation after HR confirms the bracket from Business. I know Natwest dont negotiate once you accepted the offer. What CTC can i expect from Natwest for Lead SE.
