A story
Before I took my current job in 2019, I interviewed at WeWork and apparently I did really well (per the recruiter) as they really liked me technically, except that one person (the guy who went through my resume with me) vetoed me.
Apparently, when he asked me why I left a certain job, I was honest and said, it wasn't the right fit for me enjoyable wise, while I could do the job well, it wasn't what I wanted to do. So he asked, did you follow up with your manager about your issues. I replied honestly, and said that I had a very good relationship with him, and that because of that I didn't know how to tell him I didn't like my job/role so was easier for me to find a role outside the company. I noted that this is something I have to work on. Apparently, the interviewer interpreted what I said as leaving without giving notice (and hence the veto). If he would have asked, he would have found out that after I accepted an outside offer, I gave my manager as much time as he needed from me (was about a month) to transition everything.
I was upset at the time, but pretty soon afterwards I (and the rest of the world) learned what bullet I dodged.
