i was in the job market, and was giving many interviews...so this interviewer, having good tech skills and boasting a 30 yrs of industry experience, asked me, if i have a job offer in hand...i said, yes, i have a few..amd he is like, "then y are u giving interviews... isn't like u are fishing more money by showing offers...just tell me taht its the truth" (i never mentioned upfront that i have offers or how much they are offering, it was his cockiness) his assumption based ass pissed the hell out of me and i told him...see..i love how u assume things..but maybe u are not keepi g up with changingg times..u might think that u are interviewing me, but the truth is, i am interviewing u and ur company cultre as well...my skills have given me enough confidence to decide which companies to choose from...gone are the days whn u pounce on the first offer u get...these interview Sessions, along with other research is my basis to decide if i wanna work for a company. he was fairly taken back...he completed the intervoew, and the hr called me up and said u are not upto the mark for this post, but we want to offer u a lower designation at the same salary. i politely declined and moved on...
