Did you accept the offer or negotiate?

Deloitte zonny OP Mar 14, 2022

I tried to negotiate the stock, since they valued them at ~$3300/share, even though the rolling average was dropping daily. They didn’t budge on it, so I just accepted the offer.

@OP What kind of interview questions did you get? I know this is an old post but if you remember anything, it could be of great help. I have an interview scheduled soon for L5 SysDE and could use all the info I can get. TIA
