I applied for the position in June and was contacted by HR in July. I completed all interview rounds within that month. At the end of the final interview, the CEO mentioned that HR would reach out by the end of the week with an offer. However, I did not hear back. After two months of no communication, HR reached out via email, stating I would receive an update the following week. The next week, she asked for my availability and scheduled a call—only to inform me that the company had decided to move forward with another candidate.
