I had an interview journey where everything seemed to go fine live, and then the silence started. The process began with an HR conversation, followed by a technical and behavioral discussion with multiple people. During the interviews, I didn’t feel blocked—there weren’t unanswered questions, and the conversations were straightforward.
After the technical part, though, communication basically disappeared. I waited, and when nothing came afterward I concluded I hadn’t been selected, but the lack of a simple rejection message made it feel unprofessional. It was especially frustrating because I’d still been told there would be a contact email for updates, and even that didn’t lead anywhere.
