How these guides are written

Written from live processes

Every question here comes out of interviews our recruiters have briefed candidates for, not from a list of generic questions.

Reviewed by a practising CA

Each guide is checked by Ayush Mehta, Chartered Accountant and founder of HireGenie, before it is published.

Candidate-side, deliberately

These are written for the person sitting the interview. Where the honest answer is that a role is not worth taking, they say so.
