I once had (5) five rounds of interview for just an entry level manager role that really only required (2) so totally second this.

Five rounds for entry level is wild. At that point the process feels disrespectful.
Unless you are going to be the next CEO, I firmly believe any more than 3 is too much. You aren’t learning anything new after that.

I agree. After three rounds, everyone is repeating themselves. Anything beyond that feels unnecessary
You are free to discontinue the process at any point.

Fair point, but walking away is difficult when the market feels unforgiving.
Those are two very different questions. An interview process can be very unreasonable, but we still may not be in the financial position to walk away. It is one of the extremely irritating parts about job hunting that we have to put up with if we want to find work.

True. It is unfair, but sometimes we tolerate nonsense because we need the job.
