Their recruiter reached out to me, asking if I would be interested in a tech leader/manager position. They asked for my salary requirement and set me up with an initial interview.

After the initial interview, which had good feedback, I moved on to a technical interview. The recruiter called me right away about how well the interview went and how impressed the interviewer was. They said they would set up a face-to-face interview.

Ten days went by with no response from them. I emailed the recruiter and received a response that my salary requirement was too high and they had decided not to move forward.

Why did they waste my time, since I gave them my salary requirement right from the start?
