Also, if I could be guaranteed completely honest and helpful feedback on any rejection.

Not just "not the right experience", but "we need someone who has built a product with xyz framework", or "looking for someone who has had a bigger leadership role before".

The problem is some people give good feedback, other people don't.

Even if you pay the $5, it doesn't mean the person giving you feedback is any good at it.

Made-up feedback is worse than no feedback.
