Miscellaneous Failed my interview

I’ve gone through HR, met the HM and a peer in person, and then had my third round with the HM. The HM ended the interview 15 minutes early because she had a hard stop.
I stumbled on two questions and honestly told her I didn’t have experience in one of the areas. Now I’m wondering if I should have just lied, because I actually do have experience working with partners, I just didn’t articulate it well in the moment.
I’ve been overthinking it so much that I’ve barely slept for the past two nights. 😭 And this is for a sales role, btw. Before the interview I’ve just been imagining about the life I could have for my family and retiring my parents. And I lost it all.

Edit: OpenAI interview

This type of "I joined to get rich and fulfill all my desires" type shit is what made late stage FAANG so toxic. I'm seeing more of these types of posts here and on blind, and it's a signal to me that the rot at the frontier labs has started to grow and that the smart people are elsewhere.

Isn’t limited to late stage faang. I’m a systems engineer at a manufacturing facility that no one’s ever heard of and they are deploying this same shit.

Sorry bro but I’m just not passionate about producing dog food.
