The original duration was 30 minutes, which we extended to 50 minutes. The interviewer “pushed back several meetings” to continue chatting. We covered my background as well as his, and talked about what responsibilities the role would take on. He closed by specifying that next steps would be a 45 minute hands on exercise involving a data set and building a custom GPT. After the initial conversation, the company ghosted me and the recruiter I was working with. I never heard from the company directly again, and the recruiter attempted to contact them several times with no response (to my knowledge.)
