Aaaaaand things just keep comming :(
Finally got feedback from the company I interviewed with a few weeks ago. After 4 rounds on interviews, the final decision was apparently made by the company's CTO. Apparently, all the feedback from the other rounds was basically flawless; they talked about my technical and managerial experience was perfect for the role, and described me as "an ideal candidate". But in spite of all that and the CTO even agrei g that I was an ideal candidate, he apparently "couldn't see me as an engineering lead".
I can't help but read that as "I can't imagine a trans woman in a possition of authority."
Just.... fuck...
:(
