Last Friday, GS recruiter called to tell me that I cleared the HackerRank OA. She asked if I was free to connect on Monday at 5 PM. I asked if we could do 6 PM instead.

Today, she reached out and told me that my application has been put on hold. She also brought up, "You were referred by someone, right?"

Did I mess up by saying no to the 5 PM slot? Could rescheduling really cause them to put my application on hold, or is something else going on?

Edit: Application status changed from selected for interview to application turndown
