# Five final rounds. Five companies. Zero responses.

**[TRUE STORY]** — by Tech professional · via r/developersIndia

A tech professional on r/developersIndia reported completing five separate interview processes — each reaching the final round — and receiving exactly zero responses. Not a rejection. Not an auto-reply. Just five silences. Commenters pointed to internal candidates, panel paralysis, and salary mismatch as likely causes. The poster framed it not as outrage but exhaustion: after investing weeks per process, the absence of any closure was worse than a no.
