Hi guys,
How do you handle toxic interviewer, I encountered a toxic interviewer who just came with certain keyword just to timepass and insult for screening purpose. His only motive was he felt insecure by seeing my high resume.

If you’re convinced you handled it well and they were just being toxic, then you’ve already won. A bad interviewer is often a reflection of a bad culture—better to stay away from such places. You just dogged a bullet.

Thanks for your kind word, he was only insecure with my good profile

I also faced this with one of the interviewers. No need to tolerate people like this. Just stay on your ground and don't let them belittle you. Once the interview ends, HR ko jhaad lgao kaise chutiye log rkhe hue h.

Also, it depends whether you have a confident personality or not. During the initial days of my career, mujhe bahot logon ne beizzat kia tha, and I couldn't do anything. Obviously there were few exceptions. But now, I am more confident and understand that both parties need each other and both have to respect each other.

No need to handle, just laugh and cut the call and forget about it.

Interviewer's attitude says a lot about the company or the team's work culture. It's better to not join such a place.

Just call him or her gandu and end the interview.

Don't say such things to particular ancestry or community. Bad apples are everywhere in every community.

Faced a similar situation during LTI Mindtree interview, midway through I said I don’t there is any meaning in continuing the interview so let’s end the call here, and do you have anything else?
He said No, so i closed the call, called the e HR, they weren’t really interested what happened, and I didn’t really bother about it.
Couple of months later again got call from LTI Mindtree that there is a job opportunity, and I told the recruiter I wasn’t interested in this opportunity, When he asked why, told them what happened, he asked me I remember the name, gave his name and he said he would escalate to it his manager.

Nothing will happen, u should have cleared all the rounds 2nd time and reject the offer on day of joining that is perfect revenge.
Which I did

It's challenging, as you might not know the intention of interviewer at start but as soon as you realise, you should stop pitching about yourself. Typically I just start to answer one liner after I sense anything like this, then interview gets over in 5-10 min.
