Early-stage start-up company. I was referred to the hiring manager through a mutual acquaintance. First had a phone interview with the hiring manager. Scheduled an in-person interview for the following week. Met with the hiring manager for about an hour and continued while having lunch. Scheduled a follow-up interview with the VP Sales for the following week. Met with VP Sales for about one hour. About three days later spoke with the hiring manager to discover the VP Sales thought I was over-qualified for the position and they were seeking a more junior candidate to assume the role.
