I recently interviewed for a position I was excited about. I like my job but this position seemed like a great fit. I met with five different individuals including a partner. Everyone was extremely nice. I received positive signaling and found out almost a week later that I didn’t receive the position. I have absolutely no idea why. Is it typical for companies to make you go through so many different interviews only to reject you?

So, sorry. That sucks. I have had this thing happen for me with Deloitte. They literally extended me a verbal offer and then said the position was cancelled due to some internal issues.

Anyone has seen any impact on conversion rates?
