The interview process was quite extensive and detailed, involving many steps with different team members and managers. It started positively, with initial conversations focusing on my technical experience and how I’d fit into the team. However, after receiving offers below my expected salary, I was invited back for another conversation that seemed less like a continuation and more like revisiting previous discussions. I was also under the impression that this final interview might be for a higher-level role, but it turned out to be more about clarifying my earlier decision-making process. The shift in focus left me a bit confused about their intentions.
