Keep your chin up, OP. Hard work pays off but not necessarily when we expect
OP, I just got an offer after my 9th final round interview. It gets better, I swear.
You applied to 2,500 roles?
Don't be discouraged! Your marketability increases each day with you just holding down this job (even if you hate it)
OP hang in there. I graduated during 08-09. No takers. Struggled for an year. Worked my way up, so I can tell you. It gets better!
lol perhaps not 2500 , but man it certainly feels like 2500.
Another SM I was close with faced the same issue. He'd lose hope on some days but I always encouraged him. He's now in industry and happier for it. No travel, commute is 15 mins, his team is great.
Don't lose hope!
OP! Big hug to you...this me right now. Have been depressed about it for long but I've come to know I talk and approach people much differently when depressed and need to get out of it and keep trying. Find any opportunity to network and work on the smallest of initiatives to find that one good lead :)
I feel like the exit oops don’t start to really open up until you hold a Manager title from a large consulting firm.
What types of rolls are you applying to Op?
It gets better. We’ve all been there at some point. There’s no point in quitting otherwise you’ll never get there. Keep going
Thanks BCG1. Am just at a loss of words now motivation has vanished. Feel like it's time to stop trying.
DD1 they're all Corp Dev roles. So actually take a bit of work to just get a call in the first place. But yeah, just seems like an endless circle of no's. Like they're certainly not roles that my background says I should get, but it's the work I want to do, and know I can. So getting to the final round was small percentage chance. Getting it again seems so unlikely.
Thanks everyone. I know it's a small problem but I guess just exceedingly frustrating and at this point exhausted.
