I had the first screening, a 30-minute interview over Microsoft Teams. The interviewer was pretty rude and condescending. It seems he was looking for someone with more professional experience. While my resume showed a lot of full-stack development, he kept mentioning that he would be more comfortable with someone who has been working with their tech stack for a while. So, he decided to quiz me about React to gauge how much I really knew about the framework. Upon correctly answering his questions, he ended the interview saying that he wouldn't put me in for the second interview. But since I performed well on his questions, he said he would put me up for a second interview and let his manager decide.

Over a month passed, and I never heard a response from them, so I thought he never put me through for the second interview. But then I got an email from the recruiter saying that Deloitte would like to extend an offer, no second interview required. I called her immediately, thinking it was a mistake. She proceeded to tell me that they also had not heard anything from Deloitte in over a month. They got a call that day and indicated that they wanted to hire everyone they had interviewed so far because they needed to fill a lot of vacancies immediately.

At this point, I had another offer pending, but the pay and benefits Deloitte kept offering were better. So, I asked for a formal offer from them, and they said they would get it by the end of the week. The week ended, and I never received the offer. Come Monday, the recruiter reached out again to say that instead of extending the offer, Deloitte wanted to schedule another round of interviews for those interested.

After all this mess, I decided to decline the next interview and proceeded to accept the offer that I had pending, which I almost declined.

Mostly talk about experiences in my resume.
