Feel like giving up. Had a great momentum since September 2023. New mentors, a major certification and even 2 freelance strategy contracts. Feel like I was headed in the right direction but today I got a rejection. Was one of the final candidates but location was an issue. Not in the city (NY) and it’d be easier to get there with an offer. At my wits end. Hoping to actually connect with some NY based Strategists & gain some contacts.

About me: Midlevel strategist, nyc-born, looking to get back.

Focus on what you have going for you instead of the single rejection that you've gotten! You have a lot under your belt, the right opportunity will come. Also NYC-born but I never left haha. You can make it back and when you do we will welcome you home :)
