After interviewing with a few teams and execs I'd be interfacing with in a Principal role, there was a pause, so I pinged them, and I got a rejection email. Then the HR contact reached out, to say they thought I'd be a great fit for the company, and would I be interested in any roles there in the future. Then I learned that they'd had a surprise big org chart upset (maybe AI poaching). I suppose it's reasonable that surprise changes high up the org chart can prompt a company to pause other changes, while they assess the new situation.
