Ask HN: How do you deal with rude interviewers?
Unacceptable behavior for an interviewer. Ironically, that person did you a solid by showing you this wasn&#x27;t the company you want to work at without already starting there and investing even more time with them. Imagine finding this out after you quit a current job, and low and behold, this guy is your new boss.<p>You are the candidate and hold equal power. In the thought process you had &quot;I think I should terminate this interview.&quot; If it ever gets to a point you are uncomfortable due to rudeness, leave. Sure, in a big faang world you may never have interaction with that person, but them being on the panel has a chance they would be your boss, peer, or in your org some way.<p>Toxic people can ruin what would otherwise be good careers. Alternatively, this can also be a huge indicator a company tolerates and promotes this behavior. To me, while it&#x27;s possible, that this was a once and rare thing that only this person has done... Screw betting my career on the least likely possibility.
