    Typically you write a thank you letters after interviews. I want to write an F U letter. I just wanted to walk out, and then I thought I won't be able to get a job in this industry.

    I can't believe how some interviewers can be such a holes.

    Sucks Langhi, it really does.

    Best to take a chill pill though, you would regret writing such a letter.

    General rule of thumb - NEVER burn a bridge.

    Best thing my old man ever taught me.

    Sometimes the interviewers corner you during the interviews purposefully. It's part of the game, you just have to handle it well.

    Urban Legend goes something like this...

    [Law firm partner at law school interview] John, I have to be candid and ask you. How do you expect to get a job with such mediocre grades and a mediocre resume.

    [law student] It's quite simple really. I am only interviewing with mediocre firms.

    End of interview.

    Is this because of that conditional probability question?

    They were just so disorganized. When I had a phone interview, I told them I didn't know x, and people kept on asking about it even though I told them I knew nothing about it on the phone. Like my host couldn't find some of the interviewers and a bunch of them were late, and my host was trying to pile on more interviews. I already had more than half a dozen interviews and the guy was trying to find more people. None of them had looked at my resume until I was in the room and looked disinterested when I answered the questions. This one girl asking me some programming question and I gave her the right answer and I guess she didn't realize it. If she had run the code it would have worked.



    I have had a ton of interviews, but this one takes the cake

    That kind of crap happens everywhere... just chill out or you'll explode. I've been handed a resume 5 minutes before interviewing somebody and told "we need you to interview this guy". I think to myself "and you tell me this 5 minutes before meeting him?" Lol. I have no idea what they're looking for, who the guy is, what he's done, but... ok. :D

    An interview goes both ways, at least now you know you don't want to work in that environment.
