For what it's worth, I quit a bad investment banking job a couple months ago. Shortly after, a company (also in NY, the same?) approached me and gave every inclination that they wanted to hire me (not the first time the company had approached me). I did a contract for them, to see whether it was a good fit for both us of (I had doubt about the specific position). I thought I did a good job, took 3 weeks instead of 4, got positive feedback, blah blah blah. Silence.
Finally, I got the 'you are too qualified' email. Which to me is just a really rude way to say 'you aren't qualified enough'.
Anyways, I lost 2 months of not looking for a job and not focusing on the right goals. I'm obviously to blame (at least in part) because I know/knew stuff like this happens, and that's life (I'm 10 years out of school, and have seen it before).
The point though? Some people are asses. Some people aren't honest. Some people simply can't handle a bad situation. Often times, people are just really, really, poor communicators.

I hope things work out for you.
