> the interviewer literally started laughing when he saw me and he quickly ended the call

Wow. I have a hard time imagining being an interviewer and literally laughing at the face of a candidate before he even said anything. Unless he's dressed as a clown or something...

It was disappointing. But such is life and I would not have had the experiences of working for other companies if they had hired me. In Latin “Amor Fati” means to love your fate. Accept what happens and move on.

Love this mindset, hope you get something worthwhile friend.

I wonder if they would dare do this in a face to face context, or does the videoconference medium enable this extreme antisocial behavior? I've never ever considered laughing at a candidate face to face or for that matter even politely ending an interview early. Don't all companies give potential interviewers at least basic training that shows them what things you shouldn't do on an interview?
