I was interviewed for the senior software engineer role and I have cleared the first coding interview round. It was HackerRank challenge and I pretty positive that it went really well. After that HR called me about an introductory call. I've mentioned about how I got into the software engineering and what are my passion in the payment industry and how I can help stripe grow as a company. I also mentioned about the indiehackers website a lot. At first HR doesn't know anything what I'm talking. She acted like she knows about the company. Anyway after few days I got the email saying that mine got rejected. I'm still thinking about what I have mentioned wrongly to HR that she got pissed to rejected me in the first place. This may Not a relevant story to the OP but hey just wanted to splash my story on the internet.
