Phir cross questions based on this

4th interviewer (I guess they were more excited about usa then being interested in india)

Started with something stupid in usa

Current Fed rate

When was last increased Impact of increase in india Some more cross ques..

So guys this was it..but i would still say live interviews are far far far better than this stupid vc..i cudnt understand so many things because of technical glitches All the best to all those who are still in the queue 😃

I was one of the very first to be grilled by Mumbai panel (interview on 11th). I thought I'm doomed, in coming days everyone else will have a very good interview. But looking at the interview experience of many candidates till now, I'm a little bit relaxed that I'm not the only one to get crucified by Mumbai panel. I guess all panel members of Mumbai are close to retirement & want some farewell fun out of this year's interviews. Unity is strength...Hum to dubenge sanam tumhe bhi le dubenge! 😂😂😂
