The recruiter contacted me to go over basic questions that had been answered in the online application and told me that the manager would not have enough budget for the mid-high range of the posted salary. The recruiter set up an interview with the hiring manager. No one showed up on the zoom call, and later that day, the recruiter claimed "technical difficulties". They rescheduled the call for a few days later, but by then, I was so pissed off from being ghosted with no explanation given, and the salary discussion, I didn't really care about the actual interview. The whole experience was poor.
