Feeling exhausted. Been interviewing and just got a no from the final client round for a role I really wanted. Feeling heartbroken and exhausted. I know what’s meant for me is out there, but no motivation to get back in the applying game right now.

I’m so sorry. It sucks. It might hurt for a long time and the worst thing you can do is go over and over in your head. It might not have been the perfect job anyway, we look at things with rose tinted lenses when we want them badly. Have a cry/ rage run/ zoom with friends then sleep on it. Give yourself a break from applying as long you can stand it, then go again. You got this.

And that’s ok. You’re only human. Take a day or two for some self-care and hop back into it. Like you said, “the right thing IS out there.”

When I was in your situation I realized that trying to find work in this industry and working in this industry (especially at a time like this) is like high intensity interval exercises. High effort in short bursts followed by a crash/rest.

Take a day or two to rest and take care of yourself and line yourself up to go at it again.

Persistence and networking is key, timing and luck help too. Know this is temporary, keep it up, you’ll land something wonderful and totally deserve it.

Their loss! Forget about them, you’ll find something better, it wasn’t to be.

I feel the exact same way. Hang in there. Take it day by day. Something will come up- be hopeful!

If you are able to be selective on the roles you apply to pick ones you really want so time, effort, emotional up and downs will be worth it no matter the outcome

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?

I have a in person(online, 4 hours - 4 people) technical interview coming up and I have been practicing my coding for the past 3 weeks. The only thought I've been having is "what if I can't solve the coding question?" I am still fairly new to the software engineer scene and the position is for a level 1 software engineer.
Does it essentially end my chances if at any point I can't solve the question? I mean I will definitely attempt to talk it through, ask question, but no progress in code. 🤷

Any thoughts around how to use M&A tax skills for the better good? I’m a CPA and originally got into this for a stable / interesting job, but in the long-term I’d like to do something that either influences drafting of tax legislation or helps the public (however naive that may sound). Perhaps I’ve gotten too introspective during the pandemic. Don’t really want to go back for a JD and aside from keeping a roof over my head I’m not very motivated by money. Anyone else have similar ideas?
