HR started a friendly call and email interview set-up with the hiring team in a week. But from there, everything went downhill. HR asked for my past payslips in the beginning and I wasn't even interviewed yet. It was the first redflag. Then, HR gets quiet after receiving my expected salary. The interview itself was the worst. The interviewer was distracted, kept thinking and mumbling about her meetings. She was not a true software engineer because she couldn't accept that there can be multiple solutions to a problem.
