Curious if you're planning to try again after the cooldown or just moving on.

Rough. 5 rounds for a close call rejection is brutal.

Had almost the exact same feedback pattern, positive everywhere except one round. Feels like a coinflip at that point.

Same thing happened to a friend of mine, strong hire on 4 out of 5 and still no offer.

Sora being basically standard now checks out, seen it mentioned in like every recent post.

Did they say which round specifically or just leave it vague?

Just vague, no specifics at all, classic.
