Got invited by this huge Japan based engineering company to an informal dinner at a beachside restaurant for my third and final interview with them.
They flew in three top managers all the way from Texas and Philly to Cali for them to meet me and for me to see them face to face and get a taste of the company culture (literally - had a $73 steak). Only one out of three actually made it to evaluate me. I was almost certain I had the job and was very excited.
unfortunately received a rejection letter yesterday.
Always have a plan B, C, and even Z. If you're looking for opportunities, keep looking no matter what.
