I looks like they rejected you after interview so you didn't even go to the part where you receive an offer and reject it for being too low so the part about "cheap" engineers is just a cheap shot. Pardon the pun.
The companies you did interview at do have a high standard for hiring but generally speaking at the very least you should have an idea how well you did during the interview without them spelling it out for you.
If you couldn't answer the questions or write the code they asked you to write then that's why they didn't hire you.
If you think that you did brilliantly then maybe you're not coming across as someone the interviewer would like to work with.

Even more so, if they were worried about cheap engineers, I assure you that they wouldn't be spending money to fly you around the country, buying you flights and meals (and often drinks and hotels and taxi/uber rides and sending you away with swag). The companies you listed pay the best amongst those in SV. I don't think price was the issue
- facepalm 12y agoNot sure if that logic holds. Seems like a viable strategy to show your best side while trying to lure a candidate. Once they are hired, they probably won't be showered with swag and limo rides anymore. In fact I would consider it a warning sign if too much fancy stuff is going on before the interview (even though I know Joel from FogCreek does it, whom I generally like).
- nojvek 12y agoI kind of agree with you. They don't provide any interview feedback so there's something key I am failing that I don't realize.
