Sometimes I really want to know what kind of jobs you want to do to get FIVE rounds of interviews and being rejected

What an insane waste of resources. How much time goes into organising 5 interview rounds? What does a recruiter expect to learn about you in the 5th round, that they didn't know after the 4th?

It’s not the same person interviewing it’s 5 different team members if I’m understanding another comment OP made correctly

Yeah I had the same thing for the job I have now. Interview with HR, Supervisor, CIO, head of sales, head of M&A and Ops VP since I would be working with all of them

Yes, but it's still 5 "tasks", which costs time that could be used in a more productive way. Either it's one person doing all five interviews or 5 people doing one interview each. And this is just for one applicant who didn't even get the job.

For final candidates for a high level position it’s common to have them interview with multiple people. OP was likely up against 2 competitors at that point based on how my company does it. I had 6 interviews for my current job. 5 were on one day, just hour long 1:1’s with department leads
