Had a pleasant 1 hr Teams interview. early Dec 2021. Went through my CV and usual questions about BA techniques/ toolkit. Said I'd be contacted within the next 2 days. Didn't hear anything, then a month later I was invited to a chat with HR. Straight off the bat I was asked what I was bringing to the role (after all that time I could barely remember the role) but we pressed on. I was then made to feel like a huge risk to the company as they like to retain staff and I'd come from a contracting background. A salary was proposed which was lower than the minimum I had stipulated to the agency at the start (If there is a clear budget range why not put that in your job ads so we don't all waste our time). I asked if it was possible to have a quick call with the Product Owner/PM which HR promised to set up but i never heard from them again!
