wasted 2 months of my time and energy before telling me they are deprecating the position, 7 interviews total all with increasing difficulty and a consult with an hr employee so they can ask you about salary every single time

It was supposed to be 4 rounds in total. 1) Preliminary phone call. 2) SQL interview (with a prep phone call the day before). 3) Panel interview (with 2 people from Product). 4) Final interview (likely with senior management). I got rejected after 2).
