I feel your pain! I had an initial phone interview with Yahoo in mid 2000 or so and my anxiety got the best of me on "hello". I went blank! Forgot how to talk - so I hanged up and DECIDED that very minute that I would start my own company and never interview again!

So did you end up founding your own company? Was that your last interview ever? Don't leave us hanging!

Your question frightened them, they've deleted their account.

Huh… this is obviously fake news!

It's a little bit funny, though.

Yes, never took another full time job again. I interviewed for contract work thereafter but nothing like formal interview.

I launched a popular open source software that turned into a company.

I once blanked in the middle of n interview because in the back of my mind I was thinking “do I really want to work for these guys?” And my brain started to wonder.
