  "faq": [
    {
      "q": "I'm serving notice — should I still apply?",

    },
    {
      "q": "Is English fluency required?",

    },
    {
      "q": "How long after the interview until I get an offer letter?",
      "a": "Most schools issue a written offer within 3–7 working days of the final round. If you don't hear back in 10 days, a quick polite follow-up via the \"Message employer\" button on this HOD Computer Science listing is usually welcome."
