This Bengaluru Recruiter Rejected A Rs 40 LPA Candidate For Being ‘Too Logical'
Last Updated: Instead of offering a practical or intuitive response, the candidate took the question a bit too seriously, and he answered it with a logical explanation. A Bengaluru-based recruiter has sparked widespread discussion online after revealing an unusual reason for rejecting a candidate. In a now-viral LinkedIn post, the interviewer, Sandeep Lokanath, shared that he turned down a product manager applicant for a Rs 40 LPA role. The reason? He attempted to explain the city's unpredictable weather—"too logically". Sandeep Lokanath shared a post on LinkedIn and narrated how a simple, seemingly quirky question in the interview turned into an unexpected deal-breaker. The question was, 'How many days in a year should someone carry an umbrella in Bengaluru?" Instead of offering a practical or intuitive response, the candidate took the question a bit too seriously, and he answered it with a logical explanation. The interviewer further revealed, 'Whips out a notepad. Talks about monsoon trends, probability distributions, historical rainfall data, commute hour segmentation, complex test scenarios… and then proudly says, 'So, 55.7 days, with a 95 per cent confidence interval.'" But rather than being impressed, the interviewer looked at him and responded, 'Wrong." In the post, he goes on to explain why this hyper-rational answer didn't land well. 'Bengaluru is not just another city. You don't calculate rain here. You sense it in your bones. You carry an umbrella even on a sunny day, just in case," Sandeep wrote, pointing to the city's unpredictable weather patterns. He clarified that the candidate wasn't rejected due to poor math skills. In his post, the recruiter explained that the candidate was turned down because he attempted to 'reduce Bengaluru, a city of clouds, gardens, and surprises, to just another dot on the map." Speaking of Bengaluru rains, the city has officially logged its wettest May on record, with a cumulative rainfall of 307.9 mm between May 1 and May 26 (as of 11:30 am), according to the India Meteorological Department (IMD). This breaks the previous record of 305.4 mm set in May 2023. With the IMD predicting light to moderate showers until May 31, Bengalureans might want to keep those umbrellas close. Prior to this, IMD data showed that May 2022 held the record with 270.4 mm of rainfall, followed by May 2017 with 241.9 mm and May 2018 with 239.8 mm. First Published:

Karnataka Records Highest May Rainfall In 125 Years: Siddaramaiah
Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Friday said, for the first time in the last 125 years, the state has recorded the highest rainfall in the month of May, and 28 districts have received more than usual rainfall. Addressing the review meeting with Deputy Commissioners of all districts and CEOs of all Zilla Panchayats, he asked them to visit the rain-damaged areas immediately and provide necessary compensation to those affected. "There is no shortage of funds to provide compensation for rain damage. More than Rs 1,000 crore is available under SDRF (State Disaster Response Fund) in the districts," the CM was quoted as telling officers, by his office in a release. Guidelines have already been issued for providing compensation if houses are damaged due to heavy rain. "Immediate compensation should be provided," he said. In places where landslides are likely, precautionary measures, including evacuation of people should be taken to avoid the possibility of death, Siddaramaiah said. In case the house is completely damaged by rains, immediate compensation of Rs 1.20 lakh is being provided, he said, as he asked the Deputy Commissioners to take action like last year by providing new houses to such people. Assistance should be provided for the construction of houses under various schemes, he added. The CM said a task force comprising various departments has been formed at all Gram Panchayat levels to deal with the flood disaster, and if they work in coordination, precautionary measures can be taken. Questioning as to why precautionary measures can't be taken regarding rain in Bengaluru city, he said, "There is information about low-lying areas and waterlogging areas in advance. Officials should be more proactive. Along with temporary measures, permanent solutions should also be taken."

But the candidate took the question a bit too seriously. (Also Read: AI image showing '90s Bengaluru vs 2025' goes viral, suggests Inner Line Permit as solution) 'Whips out a notepad. Talks about monsoon trends, probability distributions, historical rainfall data, commute hour segmentation, complex test scenarios... and then proudly says: 'So, 55.7 days, with a 95 per cent confidence interval,'' the interviewer wrote. Impressed? Not quite. 'I looked at him and said, 'Wrong.'' The interviewer, who appears to be a seasoned Bengalurean, said the answer missed the point entirely. 'Bengaluru is not just another city. You don't calculate rain here. You sense it in your bones. You carry an umbrella even on a sunny day, just in case,' the post read. He added that the candidate didn't fail due to poor maths skills but for trying to 'reduce Bengaluru, a city of clouds, gardens, and surprises, to just another dot on the map.' (Also Read: Bengaluru tech founder to shift office to Pune over language tensions, Kannadigas say 'good riddance') Bengaluru has just registered its wettest May ever, rewriting the record books yet again. As of 6 am on May 26, the city had received 307.9 mm of rainfall, surpassing last year's high of 305.4 mm, according to a report in Deccan Herald. This isn't just a repeat of 2023's intense weather, it also pushes Bengaluru even further past the 28 cm mark set in May 1957, a record that had stood unchallenged for over six decades until last year. With several days still left in the month, this May's rain tally could climb even higher, cementing 2024 as another extraordinary year in the city's changing weather history.
