Have you guys interviewed at MBB companies and got rejected in the fourth round? Just because you had multiple switches? I recently interviewed at BCG and everything went well until the director saw I gave a valid reason for each switch.

These job switch questions were already asked in first and second round as well and even by the HR. I think if everyone was convinced by my reasons then why the hell would I get rejected in the final round? If this was the problem then I wouldn't have worked hard for all the rounds . They should have rejected me in the first round itself if that was the only reason they wanted to reject me. Plus I asked for a CTC of 27 LPA. I have 5 yrs of experience. BCG HR said she doesn't have that budget. I laughed in my mind. How can the HR lie on the face even when they know that there are other companies ready to offer me more than even 27. They are like unfortunately we don't have the budget. After 3 days she called me again saying we will match your expectations. I don't understand why you would irritate a candidate by raising their hopes and then reject them. I think MBBs are overhyped. The leadership sucked. If BCG can't pay me 25-30 lpa then I think they have lost their game big time.

I am assuming this is for backend?

No it was for consulting

Let me assure you budget wasn't the reason. Could be 1000 other things, but not this.

This tends to happen. Unfortunate reality of life.

What if a company conducted 9/10 rounds of interviews over 2/3 months and ghosted at the last round? What would you do? Why would any company do that ?
