Technical Case
I applied for the Junior Consultant role advertised in October 2025. The recruiter sent an email asking me to do a psychometric assessment within 3 days, which was stressful but I did it. After that, I waited over a month to hear back. Then the recruiter emailed asking if I was still interested. I said yes and had an introductory call with them. After that, I was invited to an online interview a few days later. The interview was on a Tuesday and they said I'd hear back by the end of the week about the next step, which was a case study. I emailed the recruiter the following Monday because I hadn't heard anything, but they never replied and ghosted me. I found out later they reposted the job on LinkedIn.

Behavioral
It started out well, with the first recruiter being transparent about compensation expectations and saying they were within budget. But then I got switched to a new recruiter, and things got weird. This new recruiter said my expectations were 'outside budget,' which contradicted the first person. After I pushed back and reminded them of the prior conversation, they said they'd check, and then confirmed on a video call that my original request was actually okay. They even mentioned a possible 4% raise that would be discussed later. But just five minutes after that call, I got an email saying the offer was final and could even be lowered if I didn't accept. Even with all that, I said I was still interested and just needed a formal written offer, which is normal before quitting a job. Instead of a response or any explanation, I just got a generic rejection email the next day. It was confusing and unprofessional, especially since they'd told me an offer existed but never sent it.
