It was the CTO. The methodology for it involves a background in genetics which they don't have. I just want a thank you. I've had product discussions before, but this has obviously never happened.

Idk I at least would've taken a "thank you for the idea". It's medical related so like I'm happy that I can help people. But, at least say thank you.

I kinda feel like an idiot. But, I genuinely thought I was going to get the job. This is my passion, and I love talking about it. I just didn't think anyone would care.

Plus it's infuriating because I didn't get the job because I didn't know how to solve some random DP problem...

This is what I'm thinking. I have no realistic way of proving it. Like in no way would I want to work in a culture like that. It just feels kinda slimy. Like "your ideas are valuable, but you're not."
