2 persons showed up on the second interview, straight from the beginning it was obvious that they don’t want me for so reason, still they dragged for one hour. Then I realised that this is a presale team and they are trying to fish for information about my current company - I work for big 4 bank. Then even though I started to act obviously weird they still kept going. Hilarious. Interviewers great of your current NDA.
