Was one of the hardest interviews of my life. Maybe 25 questions in 30 minutes, but very non-chalant so I felt somewhat off-guard throughout. Asked me about everything that essentially wasn’t explored in my application, which I didn’t like given I didn’t dive into it my application for a reason (other parts were just uninteresting or not passionate for me). Picked up on 1-4 words I included in my long-term career goals and really drilled down (maybe unfairly given they were mere examples, but also I provided those…). Kept looking down at watch. Left feeling pretty good, but ultimately not admitted.
