I was sourced based on background, so initial calls were with Sourcer then Recruiter. Intro call with HM 3 x Tech Design interviews 1 Interview with VP of Product 1 Interview with CTO All feedback was positive, HM wanted me for the role, CTO objected to remote. I clearly disclosed up front I would be remote for the role, HM was onboard and wanted to do the loop. CTO rejected remote for the remote after the full loop. Wasted a lot of my time (~9hrs worth of Zoom calls, start to finish between recruiters, interviews and HM)
