Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
The recruiter reached out. We had a great conversation and talked about compensation. Then, 10 days or so later, I received an email stating they couldn't meet my request for compensation when they set the bar. This was pretty disappointing, as they didn't even give me a chance to show any skills.
