I left a job interview after just one question. Was that a mistake?
Today, I had an interview for a job I was really looking forward to. The job description seemed great, the pay was okay, and the company had good feedback online. I went in, shook hands with the person in charge of hiring, and we sat down to talk. Then, they asked their first question: "How do you feel about working extra hours without pay?" I actually laughed because I thought it was a joke. But the interviewer just looked at me, waiting for my answer. I asked if working extra time was required and if they paid for it. They said, "Well, we expect people to stay as long as they need to finish their work. Everyone here really cares about what they do, so we don't keep track of extra hours." I just stood up and said, "Thank you for your time, but this job isn't right for me," and then I left. Now, I'm wondering if I did the wrong thing. Should I have stayed and listened to more about the job? Or was leaving the right decision?

Interview preparation tips for other job seekers - Do not waste your time as the HR team needs to be trained first,they couldn't afford to pay us avg industry standard salary and still will call you for interview.
