One of the interviewers commented that I was the first person out of the 45-something that he had interviewed to nail all the questions. They were easy. I felt that the job was well within my scope of abilities.

During the last interview, the Uber guy mentioned that I would probably need to live in an AirBnb roommate situation in some cities (I had been told by others that I would have my own AirBnb apartment). I told him that was a no-go for me. (I am wayyyyy past that sort of thing). I offered to pay for my own lodging out of my pocket.

I was passed over for the position. They mentioned the living arrangement as the reason. I can only assume that they thought that perhaps I was not a team player. Very odd, but I respect their decision and experience.
Woulda been a deal breaker for me too.

At this stage in life my own space is very high on my list of must haves.
