I left in the middle of an interview.
M a self-taught developer. been working really hard, trying to break into tech. Two days ago, I got approached by an hr from this e learning company for an IT role. I was super nervous but also excited because it felt like maybe this is it. The interview was on teams with 9 experienced pros all with degrees and certifications while I had no formal IT background, just self-taught skills. I felt completely out of place. Most of the interviewers were kind and said I could learn on the job. But one person kept throwing back-to-back questions with shady comments after every answer made me feel like I wasn’t good enough. It crushed my confidence About 10 minutes before the interview ended, I panicked. Anxiety took over, so I faked a network issue and left the call. Then I just broke down. I didn’t want to be disrespectful, so I quickly emailed saying I got disconnected. Truth is, I was overwhelmed and felt like a total fraud. I’ve wanted a job in tech for so long.
