I had a screening call with the recruiter. I was asked about MLOps experience and when I said I have none, the reaction was patronising. I'm surprised I was selected for recruiter screening in the first place since there is no mentioning of AI/ML experience in my CV.

Only first round with the interviewer. The call lasted less than 15 minutes, very one way of communication, dry and cold. Seemed recruiter was not interested in doing interviews at all or had any more knowledge about the job more than one A4 piece of paper. When asked the background about the role and the need or anything more than JD he could not answer. Long silences where I was asking interviewer if he got all information as he did not say anything. Liked the job, did not like the process. Emailed on Saturday morning I was not shortlisted in the 2nd round by hiring manager and was relieved as it did not sound like a place for me to be in.
