The process began with a polite call with a headhunter, followed by a first interview with a local manager. This manager was relevant to the role and had a good approach, although not technical.

The second interview was with an "Indian boss" who demonstrated several issues:

• Did not understand the local language or culture.
• Was late for the interview.
• Did not ask relevant questions.
• Did not probe into qualifications or technical depth.
• Did not ask for my achievements.
• Did not even have a copy of my CV.

Ultimately, this interviewer seemed to view me as a threat to his position, displaying a very short-sighted approach and a sense of jealousy.

This was a very bad experience, especially considering that I was headhunted for this role and did not apply for the position myself.

Q: Why have you applied for this job? (He didn't know that they had approached me)

Q: Can we relocate you? (He didn't know that I was being sought for the Swedish office)
