I got fortunate to interview at these companies this cycle: - Databricks - Apple - Mastercard - Rippling - Google - BCG - NVIDIA I received an offer from Mastercard, got rejected by all of the other one's (not complaining honestly). Interviews were across PM and SWE. Some rejections were in early rounds, some were in later rounds. Anybody else in a similar scenario, where they got good invites, but kinda failed the interviews? What went wrong in your opinion? I did a lot of mocks to prep, but still can't really figure out whats going so wrong.
