was easy and going well until one interview with the manager for a specific area. He was pretty rude and ended the interview abruptly never listened or seemed to care about the interview at all.

They immediately asked for my W2, before even scheduling a screen phone call. It's an obnoxious way to get information from a candidate, information that they are not even legally allowed to ask for (such as SS#) at this part of the process. Not only is it borderline illegal, it says "We don't trust your resume, or you." It was a jarring start to the process, and it left me with a nasty taste in my mouth. I didn't release my w2s, and didn't get past the 1st round phone interview. I understand you want to make sure you have a real deal candidate (that makes money as a sales executive), but there is a lot you cannot tell simply from a W2. For example, one could take equity over salary at a start-up, and therefore, your W2s might indicate that you only made $90k/year, but it doesn't factor in the equity you earned strategically. Seems like you would miss opportunities only looking at W2s.
