Any Advice For Upcoming Aspirants?

My advice to those who are and will be preparing for the interviews is to get in touch with people whose interview has already happened; that will give you an idea. In my case, the questions like the impact of Covid on industry and annual job review were asked to many people earlier, so I was already prepared for that when similar questions were asked to me and that I believe had given me an edge.
