Adapt Your Answers by Context

FAANG/Big Tech

4-6 rounds: Phone screen → Virtual → Onsite (behavioral + technical + system design).

Prepare 6-8 STAR stories mapped to company values. Use "I" not "we." Always quantify impact.

IIM Admissions

15-20 minutes panel interview, often with WAT/extempore before.

Be authentic—IIM panels can smell rehearsed answers. Know your resume cold. Have a clear "Why MBA?" story.

Consulting (MBB)

2-3 rounds: fit + case per round. Often includes written case or group exercise.

Practice cases until framework selection is automatic. Stories should demonstrate client impact, not just analysis.

Startups

Varies widely. Could be 2 calls or 5+ rounds with take-home.

Show you're excited about ambiguity. Demonstrate you can build, not just manage. Ask about runway and growth.

Traditional Corporates

HR screen → Hiring manager → Panel → HR final.

Emphasize stability and growth within organization. Don't seem like a flight risk or too entrepreneurial.
