I am having 5 years of experience with good pay. Consultancy contacted me with an open position at UHG (Optum) and sent me a link to take the HackerRank test. One coding question and few MCQ. Coding question was easy for a person with 5 years of experience. I got a call that I have cleared the test and scheduled an interview on Saturday.

----------------------------------Worst part-------------------

1. They ask us to write the current CTC on the resume. Why is this needed. You have already checked with me before interviewing.

2. Why does the interviewer need to know my CTC. If he is the hiring manager then it may be fine, but CTC is confidential and should not be known to everyone.

3. First round went fine. Few questions from Spring Boot, Java, and a high-level class diagram for BookMyShow.

4. Second round, too much detail on Hibernate, what happens when a session gets created, how to manage transactions coming from the parent. I did not have in-depth knowledge of Hibernate.

why String is immutable? Hibernate configuration?
