The interviewer was extremely rude and judgemental. He didn’t ask me any questions on equity derivatives or the knowledge I possessed and was much rather judging me for the other things.
He had the guts to tell me that if I haven’t traded because my father handles the finances then why do I need to earn if my father is earning and that I should sit at home. It was extremely distasteful and uncalled for. I should’ve given it back to him at the same time but I couldn’t because I was taken aback by his words. At one point during the interview he even increased his pitch to intimidate me and I feel ashamed that I acutally did get intimidated.
The way he was behaving and constantly smirking slyly was like he was doing me a favour by taking my interview . It was extremely unprofessional and made me uncomfortable to a point I wanted to get out of there as soon as I could post which I broke down because I had never felt so humiliated in my entire life.
The JD clearly mentioned that they wanted someone with 0 to 2 years of work experience and no where in my CV did i lie about having any experience in trading. They still asked me to come in for an interview and tried to humiliated me with distasteful remarks and snide comments and smiles. The interviewer was highly unprofessional and extremely full of himself.
The only key take away I have from the interview is I know how I am going to deal with snooty interviewers like that man next time and teach him a lesson so he/she doesn't do it again. No one deserves to be treated this way and definitely not from people with "supposed" positions of power.
