14 first round interviews, countless second+ rounds this year and no offers. Literally put everything I had in terms of effort for the past final round only to get rejected. Failure of the year.

Just curious, have you gotten or requested any feedback on the interviews? If there’s something you can change (brushing up on hard skills, etc.) then at least you have something to improve upon for next time.

Chin up and keep pushing. You can only accept one offer anyway. Also, ask your interviewers for candid feedback. It's possible you can fix certain things in future interviews.

Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV. I’m fascinated in the online rep community and it looks like rep quality has increased exponentially (with genuine materials and 1:1 markings, stitching, hardware, etc). What’s your argument for or against replicas?
