Goes to show: in many cases the hireing process is about dumb luck and nothing else. For both sides.

So fucking true. I've was in an interview, 2nd round, where the recruiter joined the call mid coding exercise to explain that a different recruiter had just given the position to someone else without waiting for feedback on anyone else and therefore they had to stop all in process interviews. She was pissed and apologized. The guy giving the interview just gave me this look like "they do this shit all the time" and ended the call.
