Twilio did that to me. I applied in Jan 2021. Heard back in May. I had begun interviewing and was about to get my first offer. The HR had the gall to say she can't offer nearly that much but I should interview anyway. I did interview, only to see how the process would go for a Developer Evangelist.

I aced the interviews but there was a week between each interview- even after telling the HR about the now nearing joining date. I got a call one day before my joining date at a new company and was told that Twilio would pay about 20% more. I didn't take it. The HR sounded like money would buy anything. Maybe I was wrong. But I feel I did the right thing.
