What was your worst interview experience?

[Kirchhoff-]

I think most of us have at least one story that still makes us laugh (or cringe).

I’ve had two memorable ones:

• I was asked what I would do if I needed to download 2 terabytes of data onto a mobile phone. I still have questions 😄 Even ignoring the obvious storage limitations, bandwidth constraints, battery impact, mobile OS restrictions, and the fact that most real-world mobile apps should never be designed around moving that amount of data to a device — what exactly was being evaluated here?
• Another time, I was interviewed by a web developer who had little to no knowledge of Android — and not much familiarity with Java/Kotlin either. That made the whole conversation… interesting.

Curious to hear yours:

• Have you ever had an interviewer who clearly wasn’t the right person to evaluate your role?
• Did you ever walk away thinking “well, that was a waste of everyone’s time”?
• Or maybe you had an interview so bad it became a funny story later?

Let’s hear the chaos 👀
