A recruiter reached me through linkedin and I've sent my resume and provided my salary expectations and so on. After a while they agreed to the terms and organized a technical meeting. I received a positive feedback after the meeting and they kept me waiting for the meeting with manager. Unfortunately after one week I received an email saying that they cant agree to the salary (too high) and proposed over 20% lower saying that in Germany this is still good salary for senior dev (70k euro gross). Very unprofessional.

An easy coding exercise at the beginning followed by a bunch of mostly theoretical questions from the programming language, frameworks, databases, concepts like microservices. Unfortunately the interviewer was from another project and couldn't answer my questions about the role.
