Just had interview with S& for manager role within the Healthcare payer practice. Interviewer was very intense and kept on saying- this isn't working, this didn't work with the client when going through the case. What else. It was non stop barrage of questions on what other ideas to explore.

Is this normal? I feel like I failed the interview

These interviews are really intense. It's like they are not really looking to fill the role. I had an interview like this and immediately called HR recruiter and told them to pull my application. The position has been open for almost a year.

Just heard back from the recruiter. The hiring partner thinks I am overqualified for the manager role. They want to bring me on as a SME contractor for specific projects.
I said I was open to a discussion around this option.

In hindsight, I could have done a better job of controlling the pace and direction of the interview.

I tried to control the pace in the beginning and didn't follow throughout.
One needs to self reflect and learn from experience.

Overall, a good lesson and growing from this experience

Yeah, you probably did fail it in his eyes, but you didn’t fail it in your eyes because you put up with disrespect right at the outset - IMHO every interview is a mutual interview or a waste of time

What was disrespectful in the interview? Genuinely curious here

Depends on how you define disrespectful. I found it a bit unsettling that I was being interrupted in the middle of me talking/responding and also being rushed.

Regardless, it was a learning moment.

One learns from these experience. I am sure the interviewer was trying to be helpful. I am assuming positive intent but didn't help with being to able formulate my thought and respond succinctly

This sounds like this company failed you.

Researching the job mkt & pay for nursing: It is so easy to set up a first interview esp. as a nurse. Set up a zoom meeting, in the zoom meeting ask abt job details and ask for the salary range. They will give it to you, and in my case it was the same range for both of the companies. (Hospice oncall nurse here👋). Then you fit in somewhere on that continuum based on education & experience—that where the negotiation comes in—they will make a case to place you as low as possible on the scale.
