R2 interviewer kept interrupting me. Bad sign or pretty normal?
- R2 Interview
Had my R2 and the interviewer interrupted me a few times while I was explaining my logic. Sometimes it felt like they wanted to speed me up, other times like they were pushing me in a different direction.
Is that usually just normal final-round style, or does a lot of interruption mean my answers weren't landing?

Mayank G.CoachThe core skills remain the same, but final-round interviews can feel more fluid and senior interviewers may push harder on judgment, communication, and fit.
