alas! the consulting company i had been interviewing with rejected me yesterday. it boiled down to a single, uncomfortable moment at dinner last tuesday. i had already been feeling a bit dazed by the conversation, as we had been switching rapidly back and forth between german and english and one of the two founders i was dining with had an overwhelmingly high level of energy which i struggled to keep up with. but then he asked me a question, in german, which i initially failed to understand:
jeez, if the interviewer gets agitated during an interview, imagine what they’re like to work with.. that’s supposed to be them putting their best foot forward 😬
Totally agree with Christian here. Your answer to them was vulnerable and powerful. It’s unfortunate they were so inflexible that they didn’t see that. Def not a place i would wish for a friend, let alone one as thoughtful and compassionate as you, to work

Oh gee, it sounds like you dodged a bullet there...I am not sure if it is pleasant to work with people who test people like that? :-/
