Found out I prob won't get my dream job ("waitlisted") and literally cried for an hour (I know I am a loser). I guess I didn't realize how much I hate my audit job lol. How have people gotten over rejection?

It's ok. I lost many opportunities over the years, but it ended up good in the long run. Just apply and see if you find what is best for you. All the best.

You get a better job with more pay and flex on LinkedIn so that the company who rejected you can see what a great catch they missed out on. But maybe that’s just me. I’m petty 😙 lol
