I was scheduled for a technical phone interview using HackerRank. I was asked a pretty tough question that I knew I would struggle with, but I tried my best to come up with an algorithm that would work.

I explained my approach and tried to start coding. I was having some difficulty implementing it and attempted to get some help. However, instead of trying to guide me, within the first five minutes of me trying to code, the interviewer said he could tell I was struggling and weak at it.

He stated I was not ready and, for "time," he didn't want to continue, ending the interview there. I realize I was struggling, but as an interviewer, I believe he had the responsibility to dedicate his time for the full length of the interview.
