Seeking Guidance on continuous rejections from Engineering Manager Round(s).

.Dear community,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out with a concern regarding my recent experiences in engineering manager interviews, where unfortunately, I faced rejections in crucial rounds.

To provide context, my attempts with ZSAssociates concluded with a rejection in the final round, Zscaler saw me rejected in the second technical round, and both Nferece and Browserstack ended with rejections in the engineering manager round – the ultimate stage.

I am genuinely seeking your guidance and insights. If there are areas I can improve upon or any advice you can offer to enhance my performance, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your support.

Ohh looks like it's a process through which everyone needs to walk through.

i completely bombed my director of engineering round at browserstack. all rounds were A+, but when the time came to talk f2f i completely shat myself. i was unprepared and got very nervous as i couldn't answer questions that i should have answered. btw it was a full-stack role for 2023 graduates. the rejection mail hasn't come yet, and i have no hope for it. i will be more prepared for next time.

Yes email them. If you have phone number then call and ask for 5 mins time to share the feedback.

How would we know why you were rejected please ask for feedback from your interviewers

I understand but was looking for general points which needed to be covered maybe I might be lacking there.
