Peak Bengaluru Moment
Saw a 3-year experience guy trying to flex on a 12-year experience job seeker in a third wave coffee place near my house. Peak Bengaluru Moment.
Job seeker left flustered. The interviewer left with a smile on his face that he proved the other guy doesn't know jack.
Between me and you.. the job seeker was cut off mid sentence 12 times in the 30 minute catchup, checked his phone thrice.. hand gestured the staff that he needed tissues while he finished his coffee and destroyed a mushroom cheese croissant (all while asking question)... while the other guy sipped on a glass of water .. never touched his coffee.. put his phone on silent when he sat on the table.
From what I could make out the job seeker came in for a technical role and the interviewer was continuously asking gotcha questions only his own team members would know the answers to.
Something no one will admit openly - More careers are killed by the ego of the interviewer in the room than anything else. You know it. I know it. – The top pedigree guy who dismisses you because you are from a no name university/ college – The big brand guy looking down on you cause - what the F was your startup called again.. never heard of it.
- The senior dev who asks trick questions just to prove you aren't at "his level" Need I say more?
Yes one jackass interviewer is the representation of entire city.
So Bangalore has such tech interview discussions in cafes now!!
Once I was giving interview, the Interviewer was foreigner, we had argument in one of his que, I said ans would be a and he kept saying b. Interview got over, later he emailed and apologized, and passed me in that round. He didn't took that on his ego
Just read the same post on LinkedIn. So are you the same guy?
