Ever walked out of an interview?

Say you interview for a job, but you find out the salary is just too low or insulting. Ever just up and leave? Do you feel bad or awkward about it?

No
I would never burn a bridge like that

Be careful of the toes you step on today, they may be connected to the arse you have to kiss tomorrow

would be an incredibly douchey thing to do for something that would mostly be your fault for not researching the position beforehand

I have been in an interview and decided this job is not for me, but I finished the way interview.

I would never do that. If they made an offer that was what I considered to be "insultingly low", I'd simply counter if I was interested in the position and if they didn't meet my requirement I'd turn them down.

same here, really thought about leaving though since they had lined me up for an entire day of interviews with about 8 different people. I guess that was the norm for this company, probably part of the reason I didn't like the place.

No because I love the moment of uncomfortableness when you tell the person interviewing you that the pay is too low for you to even consider the position. I always wait for that moment after I have thoroughly impressed them and pretty much secured the job to bring up pay.

really, worst case, you waste a few minutes but get some practice interviewing and a chance to showcase yourself in front of someone that may be in a position to offer better at a later date.

Never done it. Just curious. Thinking of like a situation where you've got tons of experience but it's just a slap in the face for what the company offers you

No way, 1st: I'd never burn a bridge like that. 2nd: I'd never disrespect someone like that. That's just immature to do. It's easy enough to just say upfront that the two of you disagree and shake hands and thank them for their time.

This.
The only time I ever left an interview with a "after discussing the position, I'd like to take my name out of consideration" was a woman who wanted me to violate accounting codes and opt out of state worker health insurance benefits.

Absolutely not, you sit through it be polite and do all the right things.. even if they call you a racial epithet.

This.
Plus, as others have said, this same guy could be interviewing you for a role you actually do want in the future. Walking out is just a stupid thing to do.

I pretty much did; although it wasn't really just stand up and walk out the room. I interviewed for a company in Houston and during the interview learned that there was much more travel involved than they had originally lead me to believe. One of the guys in the interview tried to change the subject over to benefits; I simply pushed the benefit information to the side and asked another question related to the travel requirements.
The guy got pretty heated that I just ignored the benefits information, and I had enough and told them I had no more questions about the job. They politely asked a few follow-up questions and we wrapped up the interview.

Did you ever take my advice on your relationship?
Posted on 2/12/15 at 8:42 am to dualed
Had one recently and about half through I just decided in my head "nope". But I stayed and finished because I'm not a lunatic.
I'm trying to figure out what you're saying. Are you suggesting that you were insulted by an offer and stormed out indignantly or you just politely interrupted them with a "well I won't waste anymore of your time" and walked out. Either way, you're fricking weird and dumb.

No, but I did have an initial lunch meeting that would have lead to an interview in which the guy failed to show up, and failed to call or e-mail to tell me he would not be able to make it. After about 30 minutes, I left the restaurant. He called later that day to reschedule - I told him no thanks.

I was promised to be taken care of by the bank I worked for through college. It was a job in a department nobody wanted to work in, but I could work almost any hours I wanted. Was told that despite no experience in the department my degree suited me for, they would immediately promote me and I would be taken care of for my loyalty. In the interview for the promotion, I was offered $10.47 an hour on a yellow sticky note slid to me upside down. (I will always remember that number) I walked out of that one and would do it again.
