Had a pretty strange interview experience recently and wanted to get some perspective.
I was interviewing for a SAP BTP / CAP role. The interview got rescheduled twice. When it finally happened, it lasted only a few minutes.
During the interview, I was asked:
“After receiving our offer, will you still look for other opportunities?”
I answered honestly:
“If I get a better offer, I would come back and discuss it with you and see if it can be matched.”
Right after that, the interviewer said something along the lines of “I don’t deal like this” and abruptly ended the call while I was still speaking. No proper closure, no discussion.
That didn’t sit right with me, so I replied to the meeting invite email (where the interviewer was also included) and shared feedback about the experience.
In response, the interviewer said he saw an “integrity issue” with my profile and questioned why he should invest time in a candidate like me.
From my perspective, I was just being transparent. But I can also see how my answer might have come across as trying to leverage offers.
Now I’m trying to understand:
- How do you usually answer this question in interviews?
- Is being fully honest here a mistake?
- How would you handle a situation where an interviewer cuts the call like this?
Would really appreciate hearing how others deal with this.
Thanks.
