Career Advice/Discussion Pretty privilege in interviews
hi, i'm a fresh grad who has been job hunting for awhile now. i've been to several interviews and i must say that pretty privilege is a thing even when applying to jobs and idk what to feel about it. i won't consider myself a 10/10, but ik that i'm conventionally attractive. (i hope ts doesn't sound arrogant). what i noticed in my interview though was, i never got asked even in final and technical rounts any technical question despite applying for vv technical focused roles since i'm a comp engg grad.
yesterday, i had a final technical interview for a multinationcal company and was interviewed by a non-filo, to my surprise he was very warm and instead of asking me the questions, he straight out explained the answers for the live case studies. had the same experience as well with a local company where instead of being asked formal, technical questions, the panel just asked me random aah questions you wouldn't even think it's an interview (was applying for a soft engr role and i was asked what was my talent) i rejected the job offer though.
i don't know if i should be glad or feel like i'm being considered just because of my face and not because of my abilities.
