After 15-20 days, I received a rejection mail.

APR 2022

In April I received a mail from a manager( I think the same manager in which I got rejected), and another msg from a different manager on Linkedin, they are interested in my profile, so I agree to Linkedin.

A clear online assessment like the same as the previous one (2 questions) and then Scheduled interviews for further rounds.

Rescheduled because of fever.

But I got an offer from Microsoft, so I dropped this opportunity, without giving an interview. Even they suggested I give an interview at least, but I denied it.
