I had exacly the same experience in Silicon Valley many many years ago. Went through all the remote interviews layer by layer, everyone was excited, then flew down (from Canada) for the in person with the whole team, walked into the room and everyone was talking. The room fell totally silent. The rest pretty much as you describe, except being desparate I didn’t think to walk out…

Thanks for sharing this. Every situation is so different. I was employed at the time, so definitely not desperate. That makes a huge difference. I don’t know how I would have reacted if I had not been employed, Based on how I "*felt** most times when I have been unemployed, I doubt I would have walked.
