Question 1
The interview began without any behavioral questions. Instead, the interviewer asked me to walk him through my resume and provide more details about my experience with SAML and OAuth. He then explained Proofpoint's policies and inquired if I was comfortable working under them, to which I agreed. When he asked about my salary expectations, I stated $67K, at which point I noticed a change in his body language. I wondered if my response had disqualified me. After a week without any follow-up, I realized I had been ghosted.
