Question 1
Why did you use this sampling method in your personal project?
Okay until last stage, where they ask bunch of corporate questions. The social skills, being a robot, and not smiling would help. Never again will apply. Hope you make such choice as well
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at NatWest Group (Chennai) in Jun 2025
Interview
Four rounds of technical round Initial HR screening Two rounds of technical round
One HR round Then offer if got selected
Got rejected in first technical round itself
Interview was very difficult for me
I had two meetings: one more about the company and the role itself, and one more technical, but mostly about my previous experiences. Mostly, they asked me about my soft skills, like how I handle conflicts or how much I'm motivated. There were some technical questions, but they referred to what I put in my resume.
