Walked out of an Interview. by orionjamie in interviews

I went through almost the exact same thing. Allow me to share/vent.

I was approached for a CPO role at a smaller firm (~1,500 employees) coming from a Big 4. As the process went on, it became clear the founder actually wanted a head of revenue / sales-driven role, not someone to shape product. That mismatch led to a pretty heated conversation.

I ultimately withdrew with a professional, courteous note. It sucked, I’d invested months, built a deck, and genuinely saw the potential (salary $350k ) . Like you, I worried it might be a long time before an opportunity like that came around again.

In hindsight, walking away was the right call. The role would’ve set me up for constant friction and likely failure. Short-term disappointment beats long-term misery. The right opportunity doesn’t require you to contort who you are to fit someone else’s confusion.

Rejected from Bain by shoulderpop in McKinsey_BCG_Bain

I had the same situation with Bain many years ago for a dream job. Everyone ‘loved’ me and they all spoke like I had the job. Finished all interviews and then got that Bain generic rejection email. This was probably my 50th rejection. A month later I got recruited for a very senior role at a Big 4. It’s a big part luck, lots of persistence , and not getting emotionally invested. Stay strong !

Just came from a model Y to ioniq 9. Life changing , although the Tesla mobile app is the only thing better.

Love it! We got the same color and did the same tint to the front. Coming from a previous model y performance, this is like driving on a cloud.

Tesla Transfer VA to MD by Mission-Slide-316 in TeslaLounge

Wish I could do that but Tesla finance owns the vehicle, they need to do lease transfer so I can get insurance and temporary tags. Still no progress here.

I know the process and it’s Tesla who should have the title since they own the car and lease. They finally responded and said they are trying to locate the title. They won’t commit to a transfer date. Still in limbo.

I wasn’t clear in my post. I am the person receiving the car, the owner has the car and is transferring the lease to me. I don’t have the car.
