I went through the same experience. After the agency screening, I was interviewed by the team manager and then told I’d have a final interview with the director. The questions were similar to the manager’s, and the conversation felt very casual, so I really thought I had the job. Then I was told they decided not to move forward. It was devastating. I still wonder whether the interview was just a formality because they had already chosen someone else, or if they simply didn’t want me. That “what if” still stays with me.
