Has anyone been considered for a different role after already completing an interview loop?

Hey everyone,

Just wanted to see if anyone’s had a similar experience.

I recently went through a full interview loop at a large corporate. I was told I did well, but another candidate had slightly stronger and got the offer.

Now, a new role has opened on another team, and the recruiter I worked with shared my profile and interview performance with the new hiring team. I haven’t heard back yet, so I’m curious — has anyone else been in this situation?

Did your previous interviews help you get into the new role? Or did you have to go through more rounds again?

Would really appreciate hearing your experience. Trying to stay optimistic but realistic. Thanks!
