> One friend of mine who had access to the HR feedback said I was too confident and I should try to appear less skilled as the manager was kind of afraid.
I just got reject from an interview even though I passed multiple technical interviews. I was more annoyed because they found people more junior to interview me (the job was to be their team lead). The third interviewer was asking such a simple question, I didn’t even understand what he was asking for 10 minutes until I realise I was over thinking it (it was a poorly formulated question that wasn’t well thought out). It was a question I didn’t expect because at my level, they shouldn’t be asking those questions. I would have expected that question for a boot camp graduate. So I already knew, their level was below par. And the interviewer felt so smart for stumping me. Needless to say, I wasn’t disappointed when they rejected me, but more relieved I dodged a bullet.
