Interview preparation journey
Journey
Before applying for this role, I was working at Airtel and Amdocs as a software developer.I got a call from recruiter regarding job opportunity in java developer for ops team.I always wanted to work in fintech company like Goldman Sachs so,i was preparing for it since long.I used to read interview archives on glassdoor and geeksforgeeks of goldman sachs. I went through previous interview experiences and started giving mock interviews so as to master coding skills once again.
Application story
I updated my profile on naukri portal and recruiter shortlisted my profile and contacted me regarding job opportunity.I was asked regarding interview slot and expected ctc.Then he sent me interview invite.
Why selected/rejected for the role?
i rejected because i believe i was not able to explain my solution to the interviewer in the best possible way as i can and interviewer seems a little bit of unsatisfied.
