Two Offers, Rescinded Within 24 Hours

Two senior-director offers, both gone within twenty-four hours of each other. The first, from a large public company, was withdrawn five days after the letter went out — the team had met, and the scope of the role had apparently changed. The second was signed and returned with references; a single due-diligence call later, it was pulled. Twelve years of experience. Five weeks of interviews. Nothing.
