Felt excited about an interview but left afterwards with a bad taste in my mouth. Feeling like maybe it's not worth pursuing. Anyone ever felt this way and what did you do?

Happened to me once. Ended up declining the second interview, which by the way, gave me red flags even in the set up process with HR. Think it depends on what aspects made you feel uneasy

I approached the next interview with caution and good list of questions regarding my concerns. It didn't go well and I passed but I wouldn't say no right away, there's nothing wrong with exploring further

Sometimes you have to go through a process in order to know something may not be a good for for you. Not all about the employer deciding.... the potential employee is interviewing the employer too!!

Listen to your gut

Hello Fishes,
My brother is a b.com graduate(2020 passed out) and looking for a job.
The problem here is because Finance jobs requires exceptional skills and academics due to which he is not able to get shortlisted for most job interview screening, he is receiving interview calls from great companies but not able to convert them.
If anybody can help even with an Internship position at their firm that would be a great starter to his career.

PS: leave a like so that I can send Dms across✌
