Got rejected and humiliated during a job interview by a team leader. Depression hit me so hard that I began crying as soon as I got out of the company building. I feel like there's no place for a fucking noob like me.

    Aw I'm sorry. It's a good thing you found out it was a bad place before you signed any papers.

    Good that you got rejected from that shithole

    if he was so bad, then imagine something good. E.g. that he gets fired on monday for his bad attitude or he dies in an freaky extrem painful unlikly accident. The last one is an imagination for an special group of assholes (around 10).

    Hey man, heads up. A rejection has multiple factors, maybe that asshole had a bad day... It always boils down to the human factor, look at the situation in a way in which that company wasn't a right fit for you. Imagine being treated like that during a shift or similar. Just don't be discouraged, the jobs are plenty. You wi surely click better in another place and all will be good. : )
    Pro tip, try listening to a podcast called Developers Tea, the guy has insights for job searches, mindfulness and other psychological topics for developers and proffesional relationships. I like to wind down with that. Cheers 💫

    @Coffe2Code who knows if he still is

    @electrineer He totally is. No matter what, you don't humiliate someone who looks for a job. You just kindly reject him if he's not enough for the position.

    I would choose less skilled humans, than more skilled emotionless robots as peers any day of the goddamn week. Screw that mf.

    This is what happens when Generation Snowflake hits head first into reality. Learn, improve, try again.

    @rutee07 He asked me some questions about basic programming, which I am able to answer correctly. It's just during the whole interview that he was trying to imply that I'm an idiot. Maybe he wasn't just satisfied with my answer. I dunno.

    Fuck that cunt. Every professional started somewhere... even a genius asks questions.

    Keep your head high, onto the next and tbh it sounds like you wouldn’t want to work there anyway. Great things in life come after the shitty moments..

    Not all people improve in the same way. Some people need harsh lessons but some can break because of that. Come on you are smarter than that.

    Funny how my comment on this thread applies perfectly here https://devrant.com/rants/2155514/...

    Maybe it was also a test to see if you can manage their shitty company culture.

    I know it's hard to do this on the spot because the situation comes fast, but you could have said that you will not tolerate the way they treat you and left the interview. Maybe next time if such situation should come.

    @mint-eye my current job right now has a better environment.

    i still feel the pressure as a beginner in the industry but, i appreciate the support that my boss is giving me.

    @elvenDev that's good, I think that employers that provide places with good environment get better results from it's employees 👍

    @elvenDev I am new to the industry too. Heck I was even a psychologist before I started monkeying around with code a couple years ago. I have hopped junior jobs 5 times; not necessarily advisable but what is has shown me through hard experience is just how varied things are on the ground once you leave bootcamp/grad-school/basement. Find a strong mentor if you can - a personable one, not just a technical wizard with zero social skills. Willingness, persistence, attention to detail, expressing interest in the current and future wellbeing of your fellow devs that will be dealing with your code and attempting to write clean code has got me way further than trying to be fucking clever so far.
