I didn't get selected because... I have a happening life?

So I interviewed for a SaaS company serving US clients. I got selected after three rounds (basic email chat, built a project, technical coding round at last) and got selected.

Finally, it was time to discuss salary and joining date with the CEO. He was impressed by the about section on my portfolio, where I mentioned that I like to go on treks, hikes, read books, lift weights, go on a run, etc. During our call he mentioned that everyone at the startup works 6-7days a week, 12hrs a day and asked if I'd be fine with it as I have a "happening life".

I said that I'm not used to it but I'll manage and work in appropriate working hours. He seemed to agree on it.

But he ghosted me after that, and when I pinged him in the email thread; he said he's not moving ahead with me because my other properties won't allow me to "work as much as other employees".

How am I supposed to react to this lol

Don't react . Just move on. Don't need to work more than what you are being paid for.

sounds fine, working in a company is about mutual fit, he felt it won't happen so he didn't hire you, simple!

You didn't dodge this one, but the bullet by itself swerved as it was about to hit you.

He wants his employees to work all day n night so that he can go on trek and have a happening life🤪 Man you actually gave him trauma by telling that how one should live his life😚
