(UPDATES AT THE BOTTOM)
I needed a career change and Sales has always been something I wanted to do. I successfully landed an interview with a great company, but due to complications, I ended up having 5 interviews in the course of three months. The interviews were all great and went smoothly but I was passed for "lack of experience." The hiring manager ended up recommending me to reapply for a lower level (SDR) position which I did and am now interviewing again.
I messaged the previous interviewer for some feedback (respectfully) and was left on read. I looked into employees with the same position and many of them had no previous experiences either. Was there more I could've done?
I still very much like to work with the company. Your advice are appreciated, thank you!

Updates:
I had finished two additional round of interviews with four other leaders and was passed on again for someone else with “background that are closer match to the role”
I have my last interview with another company next week.
