The interview had two parts. The first was a written test covering basic knowledge of diamonds, colored stones, and watches, drawing from GG course material like the 4Cs. I struggled with the watch section but it was okay since I applied for jewelry. The second part involved identifying 4 gems if you are GG.

Had two phone calls with the HR manager, each lasting about half an hour. Was really disappointed by the low salary offer. It was clear my almost two decades of experience didn't count for much. It's crazy how a company founded by a Woman could offer such subpar pay. How is this supposed to lead to pay equality? I'm tired of the startup vibe of paying next to nothing while the higher-ups get rich. Companies should lift people up and help them grow, not keep them down.
