Have you been turned down after an interview because the interviewer may have felt intimidated from your experience (supposedly)? What did your gut say? I’m trying to exhaust all reasons. My interview seemed to have gone well and the area for which they were recruiting is pretty immature and I have considerable experience in that.

There's probably a petty reason behind it that has more to do with their character than you. Alot of interviewers are immature unfortunately :(

No but being honest I did reject a candidate I felt was way more qualified for my position once lol. I was a new staffing manager and had to hire a coordinator to help me manage our account. They had a lot stronger experience and they were incredibly pleasant during the interview. Gave them a big fat no.

My friend, I was turned down after an interview bc I outsmarted a snarky VP - he tried to give me a difficult calculus equation to stress me out on the spot, I solved it in my head, gave him the answer, and said “Ha! Couldn’t get me on that one!” Didn’t get the job. Gut said, if he dished it and couldn’t take it, he would make a sh*t boss. Found out his team was miserable, and I ended up getting a better job elsewhere with more pay opportunities. Things work out how they should

Is it really worth it to proceed with a company like Amazon for 25k+. I live in CA so $ is imp but I do have a toddler so WLB is also imp. Both role are Sr. MGR.

About three months ago, I was applying to find a new job. A month later, I got an offer, came work for this firm. I am not feeling like this would be a great environment for me. So I accepted a job interview this week but when I sent them the resume was 3 months ago so i didnt have my current job on there. Should I tell them my job has changed since? I am worried that if i dont tell them, they will find out when doing background check.

Recruiter shared post on-site feedback and she mentioned that she would like to do the team match and do 1-2 additional rounds of interviews because the feedbacks now are borderline and have a very low chance of HC.
