Been job hunting for a while now, and had the worst interview. The guy was rude and said some awful things right to my face. The first round went amazing, so I don't get it. I've interviewed people in past jobs and would never talk to someone like this guy did. Is this normal now?

Unfortunately, yes. Some interviewers act like gatekeepers instead of hosts. I take it as a sign to run. If they are rude now, imagine performance review season.

I don't think it's normal at all and we should not allow it to become normal. Basic respect and decency should always be the expectation. If he was rude to your face, I would give him that feedback when you turn down the next interview.

I am really sorry to hear that. I have yet to have an interview like that. I would sincerely hope that is not the norm now. Nobody should make you feel like that in an interview.

Im not a interviewer or anything. But that tells me that they dont want you or they're testing what kind of bs you would be willing to put up with. 🚩🚩

Absolutely not normal! In that situation, my little trick may provide you more info. I’ve learned to ask a question that is naturally hard for me to ask.

After interviewing me, is there anything you think would prevent me from moving on to the next step of the interview process?

It opens the door for them to give you honest interview feedback, and you just may be walking away with a little extra intel on whether or not you think the job interview went well, or if you’ll move on in the process, etc.

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?
