applied for a job and interviewed with the hiring manager, who mentioned I might be a good fit for a couple of other roles too. Initially, none of the teams moved forward with me, which was fine. Then, weeks later, I got an unexpected email that one of the teams wanted to interview me. The first round went really well, and I was called back for a final interview right before the holidays. The interview was rescheduled last minute, and when it finally happened, the interviewer joined without a camera, seemed distracted, and rushed through the conversation in under 10 minutes. She asked only one question, and it felt clear she wasn’t invested in the process. I still showed up professionally and took it seriously. After the break, I got a rejection email. The disappointment wasn’t about not getting the job, but about how unprofessional and dismissive that final interview felt. It left me questioning how fairly I was considered, but in the end, I wouldn’t want to work under someone who lacks basic respect.
