How do you handle disrespectful interviewers ?

How do you handle interviews where the interviewer criticises, laughs, behaves rudely, acts superior, misjudges you, or makes you feel small — even when you know the answers and your knowledge is fine? Have you ever been insulted or judged unnecessarily in an interview? How did you react , dealt with the emotional impact and move on? I’ve seen some people who faced this early in their career and still ended up in great companies later, so wanted to know others’ experiences.

If an interviewer behaves like this, then you should conclude right then that the interviewer isn't interested in you, In such a case just tell that ass hole that you aren't interested in wasting your time and end the interview.

I faced the rudest interview and ended up with an offer letter. Anyway I answered for what I know and skipped whatever I don't know. I thought the interview wasn't interested in me so I wasn't expecting the offer but to my surprise I received the offer letter in a week. BTW I had 3 rounds of interviews and all 3 rounds were rude.

We should better stop proceeding further. Its very obvious we come across such frequently. These interactions will never take us forward.

Give them the taste of their medicine if you're sure that you've not cleared the interview

Isn't the whole point of the interview to judge you?

How do you know that you are being misjudged?
