The recruiter reached out and was very positive, coaching me well. I met with my would-be direct manager and had great rapport and more positive vibes. The next level was the technical interview. This is where the process fell apart.

I feel that the person who interviewed me had specific knowledge of one area and kept going there. I was able to talk about everything he asked at various levels of detail. I was under the impression that this role was not "that technical" and felt that the customer-facing and consulting aspect was more important, which I felt like I nailed. He asked questions that seemed open-ended but obviously, he wanted more specific answers. I was coached to ask at the end how I did and if I could do the job. I got a positive response, basically an acknowledgement that I could do the job. Then, a few days later, I got an email saying "no thanks." I emailed the hiring manager to thank him for the opportunity and never got a response.

I don't feel like the technical interview was a fair assessment and is very arbitrary for filtering talent.

Explain to me how you would design a web site. What components are needed, etc.
