Rejections suck even when they’re nice rejections.
“They were extremely impressed with your background and experience, however, we have decided to pursue other candidates.”

I feel like they all say this when they reject final round candidates. I’ve been in job searches that went for just 1 month and some that was for 7-9 months. I can’t remember how many final round interviewed I got rejected from. In most cases, it’s got nothing to do with your skills. Sometimes it’s just the wrong fit with regard to personality, salary requirements, or even subjective preferences that you have zero control over. Assessment on competencies usually get cut during the first couple rounds.
