Interview Preparation Tips

General Tips: It's not a World Cup final and you're not Tendulkar. So relax, you don't have the burden of a nation's expectation on you. If you've managed to understand the fundamentals of algorithms, data structures, OS etc., cracking interviews shouldn't be hard. If you've not, then I guess you need at least a couple of months of intense preparation.

Customers Voting with Wallets: Activism's Impact on Companies
In 2025, consumers are speaking through their spending, driving values-based activism like boycotts and "economic blackouts" that reshape corporate strategies. Nearly 40% of Americans now change purchases based on moral or political beliefs, impacting giants like Disney and Target, especially when social initiatives falter. This is a wake-up call: corporate decisions live or die in public, powered by social media. Businesses must embrace authentic values or risk reputational and financial fallout. Today’s consumer has a louder megaphone than ever.
