A few months ago I completed final rounds for a product role I was very interested in. Never heard back from them. Took a new position that is conducive to WFH/remote.

However I don’t respect that they didn’t give me a final answer after providing work product, meeting with teams—even to let me know they had chosen another candidate or weren’t moving forward with hiring.
