I’ve been a hiring manager and done literally hundreds of interviews. There’s only three scenarios I can think of for this behavior.
1. You flubbed all the questions and the interviewer was cutting it short but didn’t want to tell you that. Note: you MIGHT have saved it with the discussion of your questions.
2. You ACED all the questions, and they were the most advanced ones in the pool and the interviewer was cutting it short so they didn’t have to come up with stupid/less advanced questions for you.
3. The interviewer was unprepared and/or was asking questions that they didn’t really understand, and therefore, didn’t know how to expand upon.
Are you CERTAIN the first round interview was with the hiring manager? That would not be a typical progression in my experience.
I had this experience only at the final interview with a very senior staff/director. They were looking at if I knew the firm and have interest in the field and obviously culture fit but not during the first round.
They are just looking for filters that indicate you will not take an offer and waste time of real interviewers
1st round is not typically the hiring manager, its typically a vetting round to see if the company thinks you would be a good fit and worth spending the time interviewing deeper.
my 1st rounds are nearly always with hr, then 2nd typically i would have a quick chat to feel an initial feeling of the candidate... phone call, 15-30 minutes at most.
3rd round was then in person with 2-5 people on the panel, or two multiple person panels back to back.
part of what i wanted to see is if people can converse, not just answer typical prepped for interview questions.
being customer facing and consulting, maybe that was a difference I thought was necessary at the time... since IMO, with a solid background most technical or job specific items can be learned/taught.
how to think on your feet and talk are a lot harder to learn.
