Ghosted my request for feedback only to... ask for my feedback

Ghosted my request for feedback only to... ask for my feedback

Interviewed for the same exact role I'd left at my previous job. Got four interviews deep in a seven-interview process, was rejected with a form "moving forward with other candidates" email. No big deal, but after several hours invested and the last interview (project deep-dive) seeming to go well from my end, the rejection was kind of out of the blue.

I emailed the hiring manager and asked if there were any red flags during the call -- not to try and argue my case, but because I had more project deep-dive interviews with other companies and if I was saying something dumb it would be great to know so I could better explain my past work. No response.

I understand the whole "there are too many candidates for us to give everyone feedback" line but for folks well into the pipeline I feel like it's decent to just be honest. I always did that for candidates who asked, when I was hiring.
