I was interviewing a candidate. He was a bit nervous so, I tried calming him down and it was going fine until I started asking questions from DSA. I asked him to write a code and he turned off his video. I kept asking if he could hear me on call and chat. Then he put himself on mute. He said that we can wrap up the interview in chat. Did I scare him off? I feel bad. 😟

1. He joined from his phone so can’t code.
2. Told me, there’s a powercut in his area.
3. Kept looking here and there.

Its fishy. Don't fall for it. Rejected a candidate yesterday for lipsyncing on video while someone else was answering from another headset!

Most interviewers wouldn't care or think there is a lag or might not even turn video on. I was just adamant not to proceed after 10mins of careful observation.

I checked his LinkedIn. The guy’s photo matched. I think that may be there was no power cut. He was looking for answers on his laptop and joined the meeting from phone.

May be he is not prepared for the interview

Not prepared for DSA, may be. How should I say it? I am from IBM’s product development team and we need candidates who are good in DSA.

Personally I may also feel for him but professionally he should have prepared well and may have asked for reschedule if there was power cut.

I love working in healthcare, there’s nothing like it.

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?
