From the team
Interview prep,
done differently
How Greenroom works, what we've learned building it, and honest advice for technical interviews.
Interview prep
Questions to ask the interviewer
Five minutes, still scored — and “what’s the culture like?” is the answer that says you did no work.
India · Careers
Relieving letter in India
The document that decides whether your next offer survives background verification — and what to do when your old employer will not hand it over.
Careers
The verbal offer is not the offer
What to actually have in hand before you resign, and how long is genuinely too long to wait for the letter.
Careers
Nobody tells you the review happens. You have to ask for it
What actually triggers a contract-to-permanent conversion, and what a real conversion offer should include.
Careers
Naming a competing offer is a tool, not a trump card
The difference between disclosure that helps and disclosure that backfires — and what to do if they ask for the letter.
Careers
The offer call is the last interview — of them
The questions that actually surface how a manager operates, before you're reporting to them.
Careers
A lateral move is not automatically a step sideways
When a flat-pay move is genuinely worth taking, and when it's a demotion wearing a neutral name.
Careers
The process went well. The number didn't match it
What a low offer after a strong final round usually means, and the exact counter that gets it fixed.
Careers
The RTO email is a policy, not a verdict on your situation
How to ask for an exception, what actually gets approved, and when to just accept the mandate instead.
India · Careers
Laid off during probation: what you're actually owed
Probation strips away most of the protections a confirmed employee has. What your appointment letter and Indian labour law actually require.
Careers
Recruiter went quiet before your first interview? Here's why
One good call, then silence, before round one even started. What that usually means and the follow-up that actually works.
Interview Prep
Ghosted after the final round? What to do next
No email, no rejection, no reason. What the silence usually means, how long to wait, and the follow-up that actually gets a reply.
Technical
Cypress interview questions and answers
Retry-ability, commands vs promises, cy.intercept() and why cy.wait(ms) is the tell that gives away a Selenium habit.
Interview Prep
How to answer "walk me through your resume"
Not "tell me about yourself." A chronological, resume-anchored narrative — the structure, the traps, and a full worked script.
India · Careers
How to evaluate a startup before joining
Great team, great product, eleven months of runway nobody mentioned. The questions that surface it.
Interview Prep
Reapplying after rejection
Six months with nothing changed is the same application. Two months with new scope is not.
India · Careers
What to negotiate besides salary
You were not refused. You asked the one budget that cannot move.
Interview Prep
The interview process, stage by stage
The assessment rewards silence. The pairing round punishes it. Same skill, opposite scoring.
Careers
Internal transfer interviews
The hiring manager will ask your manager and two peers. That conversation outranks yours.
India · Careers
How to ask for a raise
The decision happens in a meeting you are not in. Time the ask to that, not to your courage.
India · Careers
Probation period in India
Confirmation is not automatic. Nobody will remind you, and the status has real consequences.
Interview Prep
Pair programming interviews
Solving it alone and silently is the wrong answer. What this round actually scores.
Careers
Your job offer was revoked
Not a verdict on you — but you already resigned, so the clock is yours. What to do first.
Careers
How to get better at small talk
Nobody is grading the content. They are checking whether you return the ball.
Careers
Job search loneliness
You are not unmotivated. You lost the structure that was quietly supplying your social life.
India · Careers
Training bonds and service agreements
The enforceability argument is the wrong one. The leverage is the paperwork you need next.
India · Careers
Should you take a pay cut to switch?
Not “can I afford it” — but which year you break even, and whether the move changes your category.
India · Careers
Moonlighting in India
Not detected by surveillance. Detected by paperwork you don’t control.
India · Careers
Third-party payroll jobs in India
The badge says a Fortune 500. The payslip says something else. What that costs you later.
Interview Prep
Online coding assessments
Hidden tests, a clock, and no partial credit for a good approach. A different game from the interview.
Careers
Job reference checks
The failure mode is not a bad review. It is a mismatch between what you said and what they say.
Interview Prep
Culture fit interview questions
One label, two different tests. One you can prepare for; the other is information about them.
Interview Prep
The hiring manager round
Not a skills round, not a chat. They are forecasting what you cost to manage on a bad week.
India · Careers
ESOP vs salary: evaluating a startup offer
“0.5% of the company” is not a number. Here are the seven questions that turn it into one.
Careers
How to explain job hopping
Nobody wants an excuse per job. They want to know whether you'll leave them in a year.
India · Careers
Skills-based hiring in India
Degree filters are dropping — but half of employers still screen on CGPA. What replaces the credential.
Global · Atlassian
Atlassian data engineer interview questions
Your consumers are forty internal teams. Plus a values round that is a real scored filter.
Global · Nvidia
Nvidia ML engineer interview questions
Not a product ML loop. The bottleneck is memory bandwidth — and they will ask you to prove you know that.
India · Careers
How to resign professionally in India
Your leverage peaks the minute before you hand it in. Settle everything negotiable first.
India · Careers
Should you accept a counter-offer?
It fixes the money. It almost never fixes why you started looking. One question tells you which.
Careers
LinkedIn profile tips for engineers
Nobody browses LinkedIn — they search it. Being invisible in search beats having a weak profile.
Interview prep
How to prepare for a final round interview
They already believe you can do it. Now they're deciding whether you're a risk — and whether you'd say yes.
Careers
How to message a recruiter on LinkedIn
Nobody reads your second paragraph. Be relevant in the first line or don't send it.
Careers
How to ask for a referral
They're not spending five minutes — they're staking their name on a stranger. Ask accordingly.
Interview prep
First round interview questions and answers
It's a filter, not a conversation. The eight questions that decide it — and the three things that get you cut.
Interview prep
"What is your biggest weakness?"
Stop disguising a strength — they can tell. The weakness is the setup; the correction is the answer.
Careers
Is interview prep worth paying for?
Mostly no. The three situations where it genuinely is — and how to tell before you pay.
Interview prep
Preparing for interviews with a full-time job
You don't have a time problem — you have a fragmentation problem. A five-hour week that works.
Careers
Work trials and job simulations
Spreading fast as resumes lose signal. How to do well — and when it stops being an interview.
Careers
Will recruiters know you used AI on your resume?
Most don't run detectors. They find out in the interview — when you can't defend a line you didn't write.
India · Careers
GCC jobs in India: the interview guide
Record GCC hiring, and a loop that looks like neither a service company nor a startup. How to target one.
