Walked out of an interview today
I walked out of an interview today. This was my third interview with the company. Interviewer goes on to mention there's a fourth interview with the manager and I said nope. I stood up, and said "you've met me 3 times already and should know if you want to hire me at this point. I am not doing a 4th interview." She was shocked. I wish I took a picture of the look on her face. She kept saying, "but I really like you." And, "no one's ever done this before." Nope, don't care.
