Anyone else find it hard not to take it personally when you're rejected and ghosted multiple times in a row? I really thought I was a strong candidate but now I'm not so sure, I guess I'm missing something.

It's understandable to take things like that personally. But, there are so many reports of that sort of thing happening that it's certainly not just you. There's a lot of competition in the job market, and hiring managers are becoming notorious for ghosting people. Don't take it to heart, it's happening across the board, and it's not a reflection on you.

I had so many rejections after a round of interviews last year and it broke me down. It's easy to say don't let it get to you but it does at some point and you start questioning your worth. What I have learned though, is the right job will always find you. You can't always get what you want, but you will get what you need. Take a break and then get right back.

At first, I don’t take it personally, but after a certain period of time, bills pile up and you start to see your savings go down pretty quickly with how expensive things are nowadays. My advice is to take it day by day and do your best. There’s no handbook to this except to just keep plugging away each and every single day.

Has anyone had a good experience in your career progressing from larger agencies to having senior roles at smaller agencies? I've worked at large NYC and LA creative shops, and now many years into my career, I've had more opportunities at smaller/regional agencies. At first, they welcome your experience with bigger clients and campaigns, but soon enough they want you to align with "how we do things around here" and "we know better" even if their approach has not been particularly successful.
