I withdrew my application

Had a disastrous phone interview with a recruiter who was condescending, unapologetic, and dishonest about the job requirements and salary.

What I wish I knew
"To research the company and recruiter before applying"
If I could tell you one thing
"Be cautious of red flags and don't be afraid to withdraw your application if you feel disrespected or misled"
