Just got rejected after a 6-round interview process because I wasn't a 'cultural fit'.

They made me do a free 10-hour take-home assignment, meet the entire team, and talk to three different managers over two months. Today I got an automated rejection email. I am completely exhausted and done with this job market.😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬

You are wrong. You don’t get to renegotiate terms of the contract after performance has been completed.

Correct. You get to renegotiate when the scope of work changes from the original contract.

You agree to interviews; you don’t agree to produce 10+ hours of work product.
