Technical Behavioral
The process is fast, and interviews are scheduled quickly. However, the second round with the delivery manager is mostly about salary. They will reject you if your current salary is higher than their expectations. It feels like a waste of time because technical people are judging based on salary. HR knows the salary expectations, but it's unclear why technical people still ask about salary.
Confirmed questions1 question
- The first round is technical. The second round involves the manager asking about your current salary, previous salary, and first salary. They will also ask how you expect a certain percentage hike.
