At some point you have to ask yourself how low you’re willing to go in life and these guys found that point for me real fast. If, after an extensive amount of phone time discussing my work, they thought it would be clever to cast doubt on all that then they can keep the job.
As fate would have it, they’ve downscaled the job to 0-3 years after probably having a real hard time treating director level people so poorly. Myopic as well. My portfolio is filled with brand name relatively complex products compared to their very simple ones.
