Interview experience
Judge all you want to.
Today I gave an interview by referral for a Data science role at a Bengaluru-based startup. The person with whom I was talking on LinkedIn was the same person who took my interview, and I feel that I disappointed him and was disappointed by my performance too. I even blew up my Cars24 interview where I was a system design interview, which I did not prepare. Irony is the fact that till last year, I was so proficient with coding and ML theory in-depth that no one could beat me. But now I am just a stellar profile with little to no skills it seems. Fact is I also need any kind of job immediately. There was a Google Backed startup that reached out to me and idk what I was thinking, I got skeptical with it. I have reached out to the HR to discuss the role. Hoping that she agrees to come back and do the final Co-founder interview again with me.
I am open to all the practical judgements tbh.

Had a similar experience recently, CPO was hiring directly, applied for the role evnthough it was a full time role, but he changed it to an intern + fte, till college completes.
Totally blew up the interview, was advising a freind in a mock interview session on who to approach GTM question, but didn't follow it myself during the call.
Could sense he was disappointed, in the same boat as you, good enough profile but no actionable skills and blow offs.
Could have been a major break, but as Rizwan says, "ya toh win hai , yah toh learn hai"
Yesterday, I gave an interview and cleared both the coding questions in the time limit as stated. The interviewer said that the HR will call soon. I haven't heard anything yet. Should i be hopeful?
But i have a certain level of experience also tbh which makes the disappointment even more worse.
