Which I don't find all that weird. Quoting OP here; "after visiting the campus, I wasn’t too sure I wanted to work for such a big company, also moving from Canada to the U.S. wasn’t something I was too excited about".
In the past, I've been in talks with an employer about a job, and my enthousiasm was only so-so, and that tended to put a brake on the proceedings.
- simias 6y agoThat's perfectly fine but I'd expect the company, especially a company as large as Microsoft, to at least clarify the situation instead of just brutally ending communication. I too have been in a similar situation (being interviewed at a startup and being clearly not super enthusiastic about the position being offered) but they decided to go with somebody else they gave me a courtesy call letting me know about it. I think it's the right thing to do.
- Wowfunhappy 6y agoI don't find it particularly weird either, but it makes for a much more nuanced narrative compared to "Microsoft wanted to hire you for your package manager and you rejected them." I just think Microsoft should have found a way to credit the guy. Even just a footnote in their WinGet announcement blog post would have been better.
