Magic Leap Software Engineer interview experience

In that conversation, the hiring manager told me they were actually looking for someone on site, and that the recruiter had been pushing to include remote candidates.

It was a jarring moment because I’d invested the time based on the remote framing. After that, it kind of became clear the alignment wasn’t there.

I didn’t end up getting an offer. The part that stayed with me most was the mismatch between what was promised and what the role apparently required.
