Interviewing is dating. If someone tells you they don't want to keep dating you, don't bother asking why. It doesn't matter because it's not actionable. Don't put any date on a pedestal as "the one". Just keep lining up multiple first dates.

yeah you're right there is no reason to worry about it, just venting because the communication up until now has been very clear. Pinged my reference to see if they can get more clarity but counting this as a dud The main thing I was wondering is how to handle questions about my other interviews/offers. Is that probing for whether I'm a high demand employee, how much time they have or both? in this context it sounded like the position wasn't open yet so I'm not sure putting the pressure from other offers (not that I have any) would do anything Either way I'm happy I got the chance to go through the whole process, Ive been at my job for a while so I need all the interviewing experience I can get

After I applied at a couple other FAANGs and informed my recruiter I was going into final rounds at two other places (that I really didn't want to work at), I had an offer within days e: I accepted my offer the morning I was supposed to have the stupid Amazon culture interview and I was so happy to get to cancel that lmao
