The screening interviewer for this media processor group was a shady, Indian, H1B employee from Texas. He was not the hiring manager but kept asking illegally about my compensation expectations and whether I would be willing to relocate to a different location than the primary job location in Santa Clara, CA.

I answered all the technical questions properly but never heard from Qualcomm again. It baffled me being ghosted without any updates, but then I realized this individual's intent was to block better candidates from joining his group to protect his position and job security at Qualcomm.

This behavior of working against his employer's interests was unfortunate and unethical. It happened because one's case can be easily lost in the pool of candidates without management or HR being able to check or audit it.
