I’m completely confused of this interview. Was only on behavioral. First of all interviewer told me I can interrupt him if I need. I did it few times only when I thought he finished, and when was wrong I apologized. So in result he complained in feedback on my interruption The second thing - he did ask me about my experience 10 years ago, when I was junior, and I tell what on that project I didn’t do any design/architecture decisions and somehow he translate it on my current skillset 🤯 Very abstract unclear questions and in result notes in feedback that doesn’t match my current situation. In result they suggest me mid position 🤦♂️ Unclear assessment criteria, and told me that I don’t have experience in things, what usually their seniors does, that is completely wrong conclusion in prospective of my experience Completely awful interview experience
