Two weeks of silence after a final round that felt like a lock, then a form rejection with my name misspelled
Four rounds, then a final loop with the eng director that genuinely felt good, the kind where you're already picturing your desk setup. Recruiter said she'd have an update by Friday. Friday came and went. I followed up Monday, then again the following Monday. Ten days later, form rejection, subject line "Update on your application," and my name was spelled with an extra letter at the end. I don't even know what to feel worse about, the ghosting or the fact that whoever sent it never read it before hitting send. Back to zero, third time this year.
