I was interviewing a new candidate today, and we do it in pairs.
I try to be as nice to people interviewing as possible(given how tech interviews can be pretty stressful).
However, the guy I was pairing with was not only being a bloody jerk, but he was also downright disrespectful(to the extent that he was pressing for an alternative solution to a problem which the candidate solved absolutely fine, and the jerk himself did not know of any other solution).
Should I treat the pig the same way he treated this candidate(just to teach him a lesson) or maybe take the higher road?
