Software engineer with a wide range of skills ranging from developing complex UIs to training neural networks. I have 4+ years of industry experience at both a high-growth startup, a FAANG, and as the co-founder of a smaller scale product. Attained a Bachelor's degree from University of Toronto with a double major in CS and Math.

I found this extremely bizarre, as I don't really think my resume could in any way be interpreted as a PM's resume, and assuming I wasn't lying I feel that it's pretty obvious I am a "hands on coder".

I think what happened is that the hiring manager already knew who they wanted for the job, but for legal and/or bureaucratic reasons they had to have a pretense of "trying to find the best candidate". I suspect that they never even looked at my resume, had some basic boilerplate rejection text that had some vague plausibility, and was just going to reject every candidate sent to them.

That's fine, but I really wish they had done this before I had to spend multiple hours trying to get a read on my personality. I think a lot of hiring managers are sociopaths.
