After a few simple questions during the phone call, I got a technical test and passed it but still got rejected. This is a very unpleasant experience. Is that because today is fools' day?

HR Screening, few technical questions, coding interview where they have you down load a file and watch you tackle it, no verbal questions. then HR interview where they explain the compensation, a lot of stuff seemed off, raised a red flag or questionable. The compensation is insanely low compared to market.
