Is it only me or someone else has also faced a problem while being interviewed by female interviewer.I have faced similar kind of problems in multiple interviews like not even giving a chance to think about code solution and immediately shooting next question,interrupting in the middle while giving an explanation, trying to cover list of questions within short time, some even laughed while I was answering. It kind of feels low and demotivated after going through such evaluation.

I think it depends person to person and not male/female .My experience with female interviewer is good only and both selected me 😅

like

True, maybe it went bad in my case.i shared this experience because I sensed similar kind of vibes in all the interview where interviewer were females while male interviewers cooperated very well

When someone with mediocre skills gets a chance to take interview they always do like this, good skilled interviewer won't do this.

I have faced the similar thing with both female n male interviewer. All I realised is they were not skilled enough to take interview because those who are really good at their skills will always help you even when you are stuck in something and they find you are approaching in a right direction.

Nothing to do with gender but taking the interview process casually

Ive faced similar situations with both male and female interviewers

Yes I can relate with one instance where the interviewer was MBA grad and probably she made a list of questions that she needs to ask and was trying to cover as many possible. I believe the problem was she was 2-3 YOE MBA grad and u was 12 YOE and she was pushed into taking interviews.

Faced same with both genders. Yes, it feels very demotivating but you just rise up stronger.

True

Even I felt same with female interviewer. Never felt it in case of male.

I think it's quite opposite to me. I cleared all the interviews when it's involved female interviewers. That too one time i perfomed very poorly in an interview but the interview panel lady was very polite and calm and she explained all the answers for the questions she asked.
But even after giving worst performance she selected me. First time i felt very guilty for clearing interview and i rejected the offer because I know iam not the right fit for the profile.

U did good

Doesn't seem to be a gender problem.

Didn't said that either,I am not judgmental here just shared my own experience 😊

Had a horrible interview experience with an interviewer from IBM today. He is asking me not to talk general tech and be more specific. When I go into specifics he is not interested to hear and stopping me. He is asking me to put in layman terms and when I start to answer or think, he is starting to present his answer with a airport checkpoint example. He wants me to get in his head and understand the perspective of his question. I tried to politely convey my work experiences but he gets triggered when I speak for 5 mins and starts taking classes. I know this is down the drain. Initially I was furious and disappointed on myself for not putting up the best show but later I realised where it went wrong. Even though we hold one or two offers, being rejected in an interview creates lot of stress. Be strong, believe in yourself and keep marching forward.

1. Cost-of-living (housing!). Could probably afford a nice ~$1.25M SFH in Seattle suburbs sooner than a fair $1.5-2M near Cupertino.
2. Public School quality. Unsure private will be affordable.

Supposedly the reg. specialist role is senior in their org. structure.
