I have had this happen twice to me ever, one being a startup that went on to fail, and the other being Amazon. I now work at a different FAANG. Amazon balked at me asking for $250k minimum total compensation for a position in San Francisco and decided to ghost me when we were in the process of scheduling an onsite interview & do preliminary negotiation in parallel. Unfortunately for them, they lost a potential top engineer who probably will never accept an offer with them ever again as a result.
