there are 3 rounds of interview first, Technical, it is little regress Sr Manager - they check the attitude and touches your knowledge HR - they check the attitude and discuss on salary

Got a call from consultant, interview was arranged the same week. Technical interview with VP level personal. The most ridiculous question I was told / asked was: Looking at my name, the interviewer thought I was a male candidate and hence choose to interview me. I was also asked being a lady, how can I manage work and home. I may have to stretch, work longer hours on regular days and also work on production releases over the weekends. He thought I might not be able to handle the same being the physically weaker sex (according to his chauvinistic thinking). I answered him in the most diplomatic way that I've been in the release field for the past 9+ years and I do not see that to be an issue. I know what are the complexities involved with release management. I was informed I was selected for the next round of interview with Senior VP. The interview got postponed for more than 2-3 weeks, finally to be informed the role has been closed internally. On questioning the consultant, he did mention it was closed internally as the interviewer preferred a male candidate for the position. The final round of interview was postponed for almost a month, the consultant was quite positive I would be given the offer, but things didn't work as predicted.
