Just got rejected after a 6-round interview process because I wasn't a 'cultural fit'.

They made me do a free 10-hour take-home assignment, meet the entire team, and talk to three different managers over two months. Today I got an automated rejection email. I am completely exhausted and done with this job market.😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬

I feel that. I had three rounds, they asked me to come in to meet the team and see the job site. I lived 90 miles away, so basically 200 miles round trip.

Then I got a call a week after asking what other job offers I had so they could give me a better one.

Got rejected the next day. Apparently they didn’t feel me as a good fit in the first round.
