Please don't be like him in the future, and recognise that is a very douchey thing to say. Getting to SM is just a passage of time, not sure why your interviewer ego is so high. -.-

The problem with this "SM" is that there was absolutely no reason for him to make douchey statements like that in an interview. It was totally unnecessary. Was it needed to know the candidate better? No. Was it needed to convey information to see if the candidate is a mutual fit with the company? No.
There are so many ways to give feedback on a candidate's CV or profile without the need for insulting words and condescension.
In short, insulting a candidate serves NO purpose whatsoever except to power-trip and bully.
It also speaks volumes of the interviewer's character given the power imbalance. A candidate is looking to enter the company. The interviewer to some extent holds a large amount of power. And the first thing the interviewer does is to neg the candidate? Not a good look even before starting work. Imagine what happens in a real work situation...
Any self-respecting candidate would be wondering what kind of firm culture produces this kind of mid-level managers, and whether he becomes something like that after staying in the firm for long.
