Hi UDIT, Thank you for your kind wishes and advice. I wanted to share an update on my interview experience, in case it proves helpful to others in a similar position.
My interview generally went well, and I was actually quite surprised that there were no questions at all regarding my disability or how I manage my work independently. The discussion focused entirely on my resume, personal interests, and my perspective on teamwork. However, there were a few points where I feel I could have handled things better: The interview was held in an unfamiliar room, and I wasn't aware of the layout beforehand. As a result, the interviewer had to assist me with navigation, which might have been perceived as a sign of dependence. When asked about my family, I mentioned that my family has a business. This led the interviewer to probe further, indirectly trying to ascertain if I intended to eventually join or start a family business. I tried to emphasize my long-term commitment to the company, as I understand they look for candidates with such dedication. The interviewer, however, persisted in trying to get me to agree that I might consider joining or starting a business at some point in my life. It was not communicated to us beforehand that the company is only hiring for its Mumbai office. Given the high cost of living in Mumbai, I had been hoping to secure a position in my hometown to avoid the burden of significant fixed costs like rent. I communicated this preference to the team during the interview.
