An Engineering Manager contacted me and we scheduled a call which included another Software Engineer of the company. The interview was great, we had a lot of things in common and I really felt it "clicked". The product is nice, the team and the environment felt very welcoming and friendly. I was willing to cut my salary in almost half because the opportunity looked really great. They even mentioned they had opened 17 roles at that same day for many experience levels. During the whole call the environment was very friendly, most of my experience seemed positive to what they were looking and a lot of things I've built in the past seemed to be resembled with their experience as well. Unfortunately, a week after the chat I've heard back from the Engineering Manager saying that they would not move forward because they didn't felt I could "hit the ground running" and join the team in the pace they had at that moment. That was a real bummer, being such a vague feedback, especially considering they hadn't proposed any technical challenge or anything else to test my skills. I asked "why" he felt like I couldn't keep up with their speed and, obviously, I and haven't heard back. They just assumed I would not be able to do so.
