Tips for interviewing at a company who had previously offered me a job which I turned down?

It was a very tough decision and I turned it down purely because I went somewhere I thought would be my dream job - and its sadly ended up being quite the opposite. (Non existent work life balance, not doing any of my actual job responsibilities)

I want to show my commitment and be tactful in the way I say my current place is not the right fit.

Any tips on how to approach when interviewing again?

I'm currently in a process for senior associate at a Big4. The process began on July, yet between the first and second interview it took like 3-4 weeks. And between the 2nd and 3rd like 7 weeks. I sent an email to HR during those weeks asking for an update and didn't have an answer. Then it a 3rd one was scheduled three times (the manager didn't connect to the first 2) and next week I have the last interview with 1 partner. Is the timing normal? Or were they looking for other candidates or what?

I’m new on the job search and still employed. I’m looking to grow further in the logistics industry.

Should I even bother applying when there are more than 100 applications?
