Could he have been testing you to see how you react?

I'd let it go. If you get hired and don't like the environment you can always leave.

He wasn't testing me because it was at the end. I basically asked my last question whether he thought I could be successful there and whether he thought I was a good candidate. I asked for honesty , but theirs a difference between honesty and being unprofessional and disrespectful , without going into what he said. He was just an ass throughout the whole interview and then did that at the end.


While answering that question , he basically said that he liked some things and worried about some others and said I would have an answer by tomorrow , but like I said , I doubt hell even call.

BTW I am not a sensitive person whatsoever and I could honestly care less what he thought about me , I just think he crossed the line.

You haven't answered the other posters question: What did the interviewers actually say/comment on?

I would have thought it might have been them playing good cop/bad cop but I'll hold that thought for now.

I suggest the old "write it but don't send it" advice. It really helps get those feelings you have out without any chance of a negative consequence. But if you decide to do this, write it in a word document, not an email. The "send" button is far too tempting.

he basically tried to trivialize my financial situation and tried to make inferences based off my hardships that he didn't think I could handle tough or stressful days. That was the jist of what he said.

Maybe it wasnt the worst thing someone has said . Not that I don't expect this though . Its usually the ones making alot of money and who have good jobs who feel the need to do act like money is nothing.

Forget the email. If you felt uncomfortable about the interview, then chances are you'll feel uncomfortable working there.

If your first response is to spread your "bad reputation" around, then it will be difficult to get a job. You may have developed a reputation in the industry as the crazy or silly job applicant.

How did your financial situation come into an interview?
It has nothing to do with the interview process.
Is this information you volunteered?

Write the email if you want but it will not solve anything whether you get the poisiton or not.
You also do not know who is actually watching the interviews, he could be fired by end of business
on Friday because of his attitude and alleged being unprofessional.
If you are not over sensitive why even bring this up? If you truly do/did not care what he thinks of you this thread would have never been started. Since it was started you do/did care what he thinks of you.

It was an interview, not all of them are a garden of fresh herbs, move on already.
