Got a phone screening interview fallowed by a face to face interview one week later. I met with 2 hiring managers for about 30 minutes each. I was given an excel test and to write a letter at the end of the face to face interview. It seems that they like me and my background was a good fit for the position. I got a call one week later that I didn't get the job but the managers liked me recommended me for another position in my hometown (it became obvious that I didn't get it because I live too far which was confirmed to me later on). I met with the new hiring manager in my hometown who also liked but unfortunately did not offer me the position because the salary is at entry level and I couldn't take it since it would have set me back. It seems to me that they want the experience but are not willing to pay for it.
