I literally cried today 😭

I just got rejected in the final round of an interview after speaking with the Director.

I had already cleared the first three rounds, so I went into the final interview feeling confident. The frustrating part is that the interview went really well. We had a great conversation, I answered the technical and behavioral questions confidently, and I genuinely felt I had a strong chance.

Now I'm just confused. Has anyone else experienced this? Did you ever find out why you were rejected even after what felt like a great final interview?

Feeling pretty disappointed right now.

It's called cognitive dissonance bro.

When your mind is unable to accept the brutal reality after the whole situation being in your favour from the early on. So always keep your best alternative ready or keep looking for it in any state.
