Interview
I applied to mentioned position and within couple of days I got a call from HR for phone screen, it was pretty straight forward she wanted to know if I was interested and all, and said my profile is pretty impressive and she will further schedule a phone call with manager, she also said there will be one phone call with manager and then skype interview as I am not near the company location. Here's the turing point... I applied for BA and she told me they are looking for Data Analyst's and I told her I am open for any technical analysis position role's. When she scheduled further next call with my manager she sent me job description which stated the position is Technical analyst and not data analyst. As I was open for technical analysis position I need not worry about it. The second round went pretty smooth. It was combination of behavioral, resume walkthrough with basic technical and credit card industry questions. Do study credit card industry if you wanna ace it. At that point I knew I will receive third round invite. After a week HR called me asking how was the interview with manager and they want me to interview further and asked my availability. She told me it will last for 2 hours 15 minutes and roughly each interviewer will take approx. 30-45 minutes. So on the skype call my first two interview went pretty smooth again, question asked were related to my resume, academic projects, some guesstimate questions, technical SQL questions and internship work ex. ALso I was told that working with this company you'll have to devote some more hours as it wont be a 9-5 job and I was well known about it and also showed my interest that I am ready to take the challenge. And then came the third interviewer, he questioned me about my resume and then himself gave me a description saying "so you are more interested in analytical roles". I guess he wanted some one in quality because he spoke something about maintaining data set quality and operations. Again the position I applied for and I was interviewed for until second skype interview seemed pretty same, but the third interviewer tried fitting me in some role that he wanted and according to him I wasn't perfect fit, even when I was actually open for the job requirements he mentioned. By third round I pretty much knew I won't receive a call. A week later I received a rejection from another HR, on different email address, now isn't that something unimpressive?

Applied it through a senior and it took about 2 weeks. It was resume based interview and pretty simple. I was given a case study. The interviewer seemed so nice that I thought I was saying the right answer. I was wrong. I did not crack the interview. would love to know what went wrong and how should I improve
