UpGuard Account Executive interview questions

A bit of a disappointing experience. I interviewed with the recruiter & hiring manager. Then I was asked to make slides & present a mock demo to the SVP of Sales & hiring manager. I prepared for days for this! A week after my mock demo I get a call from the recruiter saying that they thought I did a wonderful job and would’ve moved forward but due to internal shift, hiring for the role was going to be put on pause. Pretty disappointing after putting so much work into the interview process. Wish they had thought things through before allowing me to get to the third round.
