Your interview sounds fun 😬
Still, nice to be on the position of not needing/wanting it. I remember when I used to worry so much about interviews, now I'm much more blasé. Might explain why I haven't found a job yet 🤣
The people interviewing me were perfectly nice, it just became apparent that there were very much "work comes first and if the higher ups say jump you say how high without question" structural issues, that I'm just not willing to subject myself to anymore.
I've done jobs like that in the past, and its not worth it - I value my time and mental health more, so if somewhere doesn't offer a good work/life balance or is seemingly run by tyrants, then no thanks.
I don't stress about interviews at all anymore - if any interview panel can't handle me as I am, then I probably won't want to work for them anyway. Best jobs I ever had all came from informal interviews or just chatting to someone and them hiring me without even seeing a CV, and I figure I'll stumble into the right thing eventually or else I'll just die one day, in which case, problem solved...
