I just had the onsite interview and got a rejection call after 3 days. I am not really sure why I am rejected. Basically, I had 5 rounds interviews (3 codings, 1 sys design, 1 behavior) and I felt pretty good after the interview. There was one round that I gave a solution and interviewer disagreed that it will not work but in the end I was able to prove it works and he agreed. Is this why I am rejected? just because I disagreed and gave him a solution that he wasn't expecting? The recruiter told me that he cannot provide any feedback so I am more confused. How long do I have till I can reapply? is it still 6 months? or it varies from team to team? YOE: 4 years
Was the interviewer Asian ? Might have hurt some ego there
You hurt some overachiever's ego. Be it Asian, American, Indian, or anyone. I've seen such idiots from time to time. Guess what, even after writing a formal thank you email they wouldn't respond. Live with it. Bay area is full of sweet crap like this. Getting an offer has variables beyond your performance.
Sounds like you failed the behavioral.
I hope I failed the behavior. Otherwise it doesnt make sense
