Made it final rounds after failing technical screen /u/3JingShou CSCQ protests reddit

So I applied for this senior front end job, during technical screen they gave me a multi thread question and although I was able to figure out the general approach and provided some code , but I didn’t really make it run and was missing a portion of the logic.

Of course in this competitive market I thought there’s no chance I made it to final rounds.

A week later, they said I did it well and I been invited to final rounds.

I am not sure why, is it because they have to interview certain number of candidates before they can hand out an offer ? Am I wasting my time here ? I didn’t even get through technical screen so I’m not sure if I can make it to final round.

Also why did it take 8 days for the hiring manager to informed me that I made it to the next round ?

Thanks for any insight
