I won't give any advice, but the story strongly resonated with me. Spoiler alert: Anand got hired. I didn't. After a thorough technical interview with the guy that would have been my boss, the VP had a five minutes talk with me, asking about my hobbies, what I looked for in a company and similar platitudes. His added value was deciding he didn't trust me, for no reason, except the magic Excel sheet he was entering my answers in. The first guy did call me to apologize. The weird thing is the same company reached to me a couple of times years later. The most recent, I learned that the VP was instantly fired as soon as the company was bought by a french conglomerate and the whole infrastructure replaced. It was a mess, so I guess I dodged a bullet. Once again, as a developer, I can only notice how much of a diva my peers have become. I totally agree with that. We need to live with the rest of the employees every day, so it's better not to be a jerk.
