Why do I usually get to the final rounds but never really get chosen (they would choose someone internally, someone from a competitor, etc)? Anyone experienced this before and what changes did you make to overcome this?

To be honest I always just did poorly in my final rounds. I found it easy enough to do well in my first round (easier questions, only one interview, etc.) vs the final round, where multiple interviewers need to recommend you.

Haven’t overcome it yet, though I’m working on it

same here! I always do really well with the one-on-one stuff, but the multiple rounds just ends taking a lot out of me and I feel like my performance goes down. Working on it as well.

Yes, I think it just comes down to luck.

Agree. It's just super competitive, especially right now

Sorry to hear this OP, but I'm a firm believer that what is for you is for you

Happens to all of us at some point. Have you asked for feedback from any of your interviewers? Maybe that could shed some light on areas where you could improve. Other than that, I'd recommend finding practice resources online and using those to prepare. Good luck - something will come along!

Hi people
I cleared Accenture Tech round, and they have sent a mail asking to fill in EAF . Should I wait for HR discussion and then do it? One of my friends didnt have HR round for salary discussion.
