Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process started with

  1. HM round: Where questions about my experience were asked, such as conflict and planning
  2. Tech round: Basic JS question - The interviewer was very inexperienced and wanted to hear only what he had read somewhere.

There were two very simple coding questions as well, which both candidates answered within a minute. We also discussed promises in the end as he was very adamant on async await and was telling me how few things are not possible without them, I contradicted him on every point till generators and streams were bought I just let it slid because I know it will not make a diff.

He started with allSettled cannot be done without simple for loop and async await, as things will go out order. I simply told we should use index param to maintain the order. Before my interview, the position was closed on LinkedIn, it felt like I was set up for failure.
