I'm jobhunting now. Two interviews come to mind.
1. During a technical phone screen for an SRE role, the questions delved into, well, the nitty gritty parts of containerization, as if I were building my own Docker. Afterwards, I regretted not calling out how bored I was by this. I didn't want this to be my day-to-day work, and I disengaged from the questions. I should have bailed.
2. I'd submitted my resume for an SRE role, and a few minutes into a technical phone screen we realized it was for more of an IT role. The interviewer asked if I wanted to keep going, but I opted to pass, as it wasn't a great fit. Talking to the initial recruiter again got the SRE role rolling again.
Calling the interview off early saved time for me and the interviewer. If it had been more interesting or relevant, I could consider it practice.
