Initially, the interview was set up after a surprise call from the company. It was a screening 'surprise' call. The interview was scheduled after this.

Here comes the interviewers, Basic introduction was done. I have 2.5 years of experience and the job description mentioned 0-2 years experience required. So I was mentally prepared for beginner level questions. Initially the beginner level questions were asked and I answered them. Then comes intermediate to advanced level questions that includes asking the version of applications being used. I was able to answer few of them and frankly told that I don't know a few of them.

After the technical questionnaire, the panel started rudely saying that my introduction was good but I was weak in my technical answers (which I was not). My self confidence hit the floor when I heard this (This was a first red flag), but then I thought that I might have loosed this job already so why back out now! I told the interviewers that I am proficient with this and this technology and I am not sure what more answers are you expecting, I think I did the best.

The HR on the pannel responded saying He likes my attitude and asked my expectations. I gave him a number and the HR negotiated on that and we settled with 1 lakh rs less than what I asked for.

All done, I informed my current employer that I have an offer. But to my surprise, I got call from Sutherland telling me that hiring manager is not satisfied because they are paying more for the technical skills I have! (This was second red flag). They wanted to negotiate more as I did not pressurized them enough at the initial discussion.
Again, 50k was deducted from what we discussed and I was disappointed!

After the above discussion, I was afraid I would loose my current job and won't get a job in Sutherland and this led to not accept the offer.

After few days, 'Rude' HR called me asking if I have accepted the offer and ready to join. I tried to explain her the situation but the lady's words "I don't want to hear the story and all, tell me if you are joining or not" (Third and final red flag).

I would stick to my current job with low pay as it provides security and good work culture. Beware!
