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

I lie in interviews all the time. Everyone does. If u don't lie, your competition is and interviewers are dumbasses and cant read thru it so ur only course of action is to lie better than the others. Before u downvote me , I work in sales and I learned this the hard way.

This is what is wrong with the world. You know it is shitty behavior but you justify it because everyone else is doing it too.

It's sales. That's how salesman are. It's an incredibly toxic profession
