I found out about the role advertised on LinkedIn. I did a quick research about the company and found it very interesting.

It is a fast-growing company, and its products are related to AI software.

I applied for the role and got my first interview with HR a few days later. The week after, I got an interview with an IT Director who manifested positive feedback about my experience and skills.

Later, I had four interviews: two with related team members, one with the engineering manager, and the other with the IT Director.

In my opinion, all the interviews went well, with just one or two technical questions that I could not be precise about. When you work on different technologies, you forcibly forget some details.

I was expecting a reply one week later, but I got an update the second week.

The HR recruiter informed me via a video call that they would go forward with another candidate and my profile is not as senior as expected.

I requested more details and clarification because their reply was general. Moreover, I have more than 10 years of experience in the IT field with different cloud providers, K8s certificates, and experience as an SRE in different firms, but my interlocutor could not be clear.

Anyway, I really enjoyed talking to my interlocutors over the recruitment process, but what a pity not to point out what went wrong during the interviews and why I was not selected at the final stage.

A question required knowledge of a list structure.

Questions related to Ansible, Terraform, k8s, and Docker.
