AAR interview questions

The process to get to an interview took 2-3 weeks. It started with a phone interview, then I came in to meet with some other directors and VP's. Upon leaving in-person interviews, I was told that I should hear back within the next 2 weeks as they had 2 other candidates. 2 weeks turned into a month. When I asked what was taking so long, they stated they had other candidates that they now had to interview due to some changes in their process. 2-3 more weeks passed and still nothing until I reached out to one of individuals I interviewed with. They were professional and helped find out an answer. They had potentially identified and internal candidate for that particular role but wanted me to consider a similar role but for a different division. I agreed and was supposed to come in to interview with that group, when I found out through a 3rd party recruiter that they were no longer interested because I was now too expensive and too senior in experience. This was after almost a month of waiting with no response from AAR. The role held the same title and the salary expectations never changed from the first roll to the next.
