get an interview.

When I joined, they told me there had been a scheduling mix-up and that they'd be interviewing another candidate at the same time. Weird, but okay.

During the interview, the manager and the other candidate discovered they were from the same university and spent a good chunk of time chatting about it while I just sat there.

Then came the technical questions. They asked me first, I explained my approach, and the other candidate basically repeated my answers with minor changes.

At the end, they suddenly announced that instead of the advertised position, they wanted to offer us both temporary internships and would eventually keep only one person.

They suggested that since I had more experience, I could help train the other candidate.

The pay was also nowhere near what was originally advertised. So, I declined, and hangup but they later contacted me with a slightly better offer. Still nowhere close to the advertised salary.

Declined again.

What a weird hiring experience

Is this actually becoming normal?
