A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. We had a chat, and a phone conversation was scheduled. We chatted, and I was invited to a phone screen.

The phone screen interview question was really challenging. I didn't solve it in the given time. The interviewer didn't speak English well, and it was hard to understand. The communication wasn't clear, and I felt like I was missing clues and hints.

I got a denial a couple of days later. The recruiter told me that "my coding skills are way low for my level." I felt a little offended.

I consider myself a very successful software engineer, and they tried to measure my skills in a 30-minute coding round, making me code in a Google Doc?! And all that talking to someone with a heavy accent and zero communication skills.

I'm done with that stupid company. I'd rather stay at my current job and eventually start a business of my own.

I had to solve a LeetCode hard question that isn't even on LeetCode in like 30 minutes.
