Received a call from hiring manager, who screened me with questions about long-term interests, salary request, etc. I then interviewed with a scientist looking for a research associate to assist with their animal experiments. The screen and interview were both very pleasant

First round hr phone screen, I was ask about some general questions. Second round team leader interview via team, after knowing my nationality, the leader didn't ask me about the question related to the job at all, the leader started asking me about my homeland instead, it made me confused
