One of the worst, most disorganized interview I have had, should've known the signs.
First of all, I received a text from the CEO to schedule an interview and coordinated a time to meet them. They forgot about the interview and I came out of it pretty sure I wasn't going to move forward. But I got an unknown email from someone in the company asking me to schedule a time. Let me tell you this was the most slap in the face interview I've had. After me asking my questions and whether there were any outstanding questions you may have for me, they managed to undermine my experience and ask what my salary range is. Keep in mind, in NYC, you are required to disclose your salary range. I said my targeted salary, and the interviewer blatantly went based on your experience, it seems more of {insert their own perception of how they want to pay me in this role}. Then proceeded to shut me down and say we are looking for someone with more experience. If there is a more junior position we will let you know.

Do NOT EVER let anyone undermine your own experience, you desERVE to be paid the amount you want and deserve. Dodged a bullet for real and not because I didn't get to advance forward.
