Initially, I heard back from a recruiter and went through several stages of the hiring process, but unfortunately, I did not advance beyond the hiring manager. During the interview with the hiring manager, we had a friendly discussion about my background and the specifics of the role. After my last interview, I was told that they would reach out to discuss the next steps. I followed up twice, and during the first inquiry, they mentioned that they were still deciding on the next rounds. However, my second follow-up email was ignored entirely.
