I was referred by a friend so I got a Phone interview and then they sent me a coding challenge .. I’m sure to wasn’t for the level required it was higher ,, it was about load balancing code and for advanced level.. and then after I submitted it hours later they send me other candidates are strongly qualified!!!

Applied online and got an email for an initial phone interview. I had to reschedule but unfortunately before rescheduling I had an emergency meeting at work. Got rescheduled and interviewed with the hiring manager. She is sweet and a strict type, however I didn't like that she kept grilling me on why I did not reschedule earlier and I had apologized. I intentionally butchered interview because I already felt toxic around her. I wish I did not attend the interview but instead I had to be polite.
