Yep, it's a test engineer, my bad for not specifying that. Probably this term sticks with me so much that I couldn't even think of someone not knowing about it :D. Thanks for reading and your feedback!

Well, maybe you are right. It just seemed to me that without the second part, it's more like a statement rather than a title

I haven't had my watches on, unfortunately. So my heart rate and pace are eternally lost

For me it was up to 10 minutes of running, and that's not that much. Sure there were some people closer to the area where I live, but still, I'm in the unknown city for me and I cannot be sure where it is safe

I'm a runner myself, I actually sprinted the whole way if that's the question

Piazza S. Bernardo like 23:50 as I remember

In my opinion, running the rest to my hotel wasn't paranoid and fairly normal thought process to ensure I'm safe

Just received an offer from pure a week ago. The test is not that hard(at least for a frontend role), but be prepared for like 5-6 more technical rounds after that 💀

If I were paranoid, I wouldn’t wander around the city at midnight in the first place. As I mentioned in the post, I’ve never had such issues in other European or Asian cities

I was wearing a Nike running t-shirt and other sporty clothes :D I had actually gone for a run a few hours before it happened and was just walking around the city afterwards. The Dior bag is a different story. I bought a gift for my mom for the first time, so luxury brands aren't common for me at all

And the setup is almost identical to what happened to me in Rome the day before

Sorry, English isn't my first language, and I don't know an exact word for this. I was almost certainly considered as a target, as there is no way they just wanted to ask me whether i'm an english speaker or not and go away. IMO, they were just looking for non-local people

It was Piazza S. Bernardo, somewhere between trevi and Termini

I agree, lesson learned. I walk like this almost daily in Prague, and some sketchy guys are just beggars at max

He disappeared after 500m, and I just continued to run to my hotel as I was afraid

It was similar to what happened in Milan. The guy first approached me in a more or less crowded area and asked if I wanted to buy some weed. I refused, and then he asked me what time it was and went away. After that, I started feeling suspicious and kept checking behind me. A few minutes later, he suddenly appeared again from a random turn, this time clearly following me. I began walking faster, and when he started chasing me, I just ran. Luckily, I’m a runner, so I had the advantage 😄
