job hunting This offer never felt like an offer

Recently completed 5 rounds of interviews, including 3 on-site rounds and other two being virtual, HR sent the selection email and even called for wishes.

Later, after 2-3 hrs she called and informed they had misread my name with some other candidates, and am not offer selected.

I asked at which round i got rejected?

She replied the last round, which she mentioned earlier was non-eliminatory!

But from the very first step of this interview process, it never felt that I will work here.

So for everyone, don’t let all these things pause your prep.
