My guesses on why this _really_ happened:

- The candidate was asking for more than what the others on the panel made, which was a no-no.

- The candidate was asking for what they currently make while being younger/less tenured than the others; also a no-no.

- The others on the panel had cost savings to the company as a performance target.

- They had beef with you and the candidate.

- They preferred another candidate, and they were fine with the comp.

Not sure. I think the candidate took another offer.

I don't dispute that they probably had a beef with me; my manager's manager wasn't completely wrong to say I had an attitude problem at the time. I'm going to blame undiagnosed sleep apnea a bit, but I think there was a lack of maturity on my end as well.

The reason I blame the sleep apnea is that multiple people have commented how much nicer I see to be after I got treatment for it. I've also probably just grown up a bit since then as well.
