It’s been a year, and I still am working on building back up my confidence. I’ve got a new job and things will be fine, but the process of being pushed out is just terrible. It feels like the start of my career was tainted by being told I wasn’t good enough to make it to the next position.

I got CTL'd in 11 months, spent a year unemployed trying to get into the typical exit routes for consultants then went back to being an engineer same as I could have been if I had never worked for McK

Jesus, the lack of perspective is strong with this one. “Recover from this”? Really?

1) Go outside and look at the world, friend
2) Your question is easily answered by looking at LinkedIn - people go on to have amazing careers afterwards

You’re coming from one of the most selective employers in the world. You likely come from a stellar academic background and have had great experience and development.

What I’m saying is simple: you’re going to be just fine.

Hi Everyone, I am trying to apply for a Technical Support role at Dropbox I’m entering all the required fields but there seems to be an issue, when I hit submit after filling the form, it doesn’t submit and throws error ‘Looks like you left this blank! Please fill out this required field’ when all the fields are entered already (I have checked so many times, and filled the form from scratch several times too). Anyone from Dropbox who can put me in touch with HR or suggest what I should do next?
