I had an interview a couple of weeks ago for a new grad swe position at Citadel. They kept bashing me with a whole bunch of conceptual and theoretical CS questions. It felt like they were attacking me and I couldn't control my emotions so i let it out.
Do I have a chance of getting an offer considering I did well in the beginning of the interview?

Tc: 🥜

EDIT: Got the offer! Thanks for all those who supported me. Citadel to the moon 🚀🚀 🚀

Even if you get the offer, why would you want to join? Get bashed again during work?

  They were being bashed with "technical questions". OP would have cried if it was a written test with no one in the room, don't blame citadel...

It's not their fault. They know they will get fired after Citadel becomes bankrupt after the Gamestop squeeze😂
But in all seriousness, screw them and dw pick yourself up 👍

  @Amazon: What gave you this impression if not your own bias?

  I dunno, maybe it's because if someone shakes their head referring to a specific population, they're talking shit. For example "[insert race] people *shakes my head*". Also see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Head_shake But go ahead w your contrarianism if it makes you feel edgy.

I’ve done many interviews throughout my career. How many? Maybe a gazillion, I dunno.

Every once in a while you do an interview with a jerk. And even more rarely, an extreme jerk. Don’t waste any energy feeling bad.

Keep studying, keep learning, keep applying to jobs. You can reach whatever level you aspire to if you work hard and work smart enough.

What did they ask you?

You were probably imagining them being antagonistic because you were stressed and put too much pressure on yourself, most interviewers want a good interview, they don't want to have to grind out a bad interview for an hour.

  I've definitely seen interviewers who like to see candidates "squirm" and uncomfortable. They say it's for good reasons, but really they are usually just jerks enjoying their moment of power over the fate of another human.

  I had an interview at Oracle where the guy starts making fun of me for not knowing what splitbrain is. Some people are assholes.
