Is it typical to go through five interviews for a mid-level accounting position? I just wrapped up a long process, but another firm only asked for one Zoom call. I'm trying to figure out what the standard is so I can tell if a company is being diligent or just wasting my time.

Five interviews seems like a lot, but it's not unheard of these days. Organizations really stretch out the hiring process for whatever reason. On the other hand, one Zoom call seems even more odd. It's usually scammers who operate like that, as they're just in a hurry to get your banking information.
