Interview Details For experienced guys you will have unpredictable number of interviews. It's absolutely unspecified what questions you will be asked. You may expect some variances of case-like problem solving questions and some brain teasers. However it's 10X times easier than even a first round in MBB.
Interview Question – How to estimate a minimum number of respondents for survey? Answer Question
Negotiation Details – You can raise you salary up to 25% easily.
