So, the process is long, took them one month to reply that I am not selected. Well, overall, the interview went pretty good. Initially there was a phone conversation with a recruiter, and then a one-on-one technical video interview was scheduled with a senior QA; after passing that, there were two interviews, one hour each, on the same day: one with two senior QA and the other with a dev lead and QA lead together. They asked simple scenario-based questions and database questions along with Selenium and programming, which I answered them correctly, I believe. The interview process is pretty slow, and they don't even bother to reply back to the candidate unless you ping them.

So, after two weeks of the interview, I pinged the recruiter regarding any feedback, and he mentioned that the feedback is positive and I am their number one priority for this role till then, but they have other interviews lined up next week. So, I waited for his reply at the end of the next week, but nothing happened, so I sent him an email at the end of the fourth week regarding any update, and he said they found someone else. It was so frustrating to hear when you were considered as number one priority for the role. Anyhow, I tried to ask the recruiter where I lacked in skills and what the reason was, but he never replied. I guess they found someone cheaper.

What is an explicit wait?
