Have you had an interview where the interviewer did not seem engaged but had a good result?

Just had a phone screening with Amazon where I talked a lot about my accomplishments but the interviewer did not seem engaged and I’m afraid that I highlighted the wrong accomplishments i.e the interviewer seems like he is looking for an individual contributor but I talked more about project management. :/ feeling bad because I wanted this opportunity so bad

Definitely happens. I was iced out in multiple rounds and got my job.

No doubt. Sometimes a common tactic to see how you manage

Yeah I’ve def had “cold” interviewers ( and then usually a more friendlier/more informal interviewer) in the same interview I think this is common

Ha, thanks everyone. I made it to the next round!

I recently joined Swiss Re at 30lpa, pretty good manager and work culture. Got a hike of 10% in 3 months without me asking for it. But got an offer from another company which I was interviewing for before joining here and they are offering a base of 45lpa. Now I am unsure how I convey this to my manager coz I want to stay here but at the same time I am salivating over this new offer and wish I get similar numbers here. Is it worth raising a discussion? If yes what would be a subtle way to do so?
