I had four different interviews with the existing team: one with the head of engineering and three with product leadership. I worked with a recruiter and had a fast turnaround time between starting the process and being offered a position.

The recruiter contacted me, and I confidently responded to all their inquiries, receiving positive feedback about my suitability for the role. However, after two weeks of silence, I was disappointed to receive an email informing me that they had opted to pursue other candidates. Curiously, just two hours later, the same job was reposted on one of the main job boards.
