This may not work for you but I have been learning about stoicism. It talks about attachments and how they can impact your behavior. Think about it like you love the butterfly the butterflies in your hand if you get it, hold it tighter and tighter either gonna kill it or crush it and permanent from flying but if you open your hand, it may just hang around with you for a while it might sound silly butI’ve been working on not being so obsessed and attached to these jobs and these interviews and the weirdest thing is more interviews are coming more positive results offers.
I am going through it also went through 4 interviews each time I was told how great the people thought I was from the person who referred me… I wanted this so badly! I became obsessed I followed up once and was told give is a week and here it is 8 weeks later …you are not alone this one hurt and I took a few days to process it - there’s more
The most important thing is just do not give up first of all you are not alone. Second of all your value was not determined by those people it’s determined by you don’t give up. I know it’s hard but believe me I know it’s hard as tight as it sounds, I really believe that the right thing is just around the corner. The try to allow yourself to let go of it. That’s real hard when bills are breathing down your back and you feel like things are falling apart oh believe me I know that too but good will come. You are not alone.
With the lifting of regulatory restrictions and certainty with tax environment next year you will see major US expansion. Just a gut, but at my age I’ve seen this before. My feeling is strong which should translate well for you.
I agree with you not everyone will want to hear this but watch how the economy explodes with growth t he is coming year
I'm sorry to hear this, I think a lot of people are going through this same thing! I think you have to accept that not every holiday season is going to be full of cheer (obvious I know but it bears repeating). I'm thinking about this a lot because there's been a lot of death in my family this year and it's going to be a hard holiday season for everyone. It's okay that not every year is fully happy.. better years will come
Hey! I've been in your shoes so I completely understand. I help people in your situation with their interview prep, CV review and career advice. DM me and let's get through this together!
I started a consulting company and it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. There’s a tech sales bubble (obviously) the barrier to entry was so low, reps were riding the bag of the deals others closed before them and playing politics into management. Now it’s top heavy with people who don’t add a lot of value and they are using PIPs to bring down anyone who threatens that dynamic. This is common in tech sales today and the primary reason I left. Now I’m thriving bringing in clients based on my work ethic. I highly consider going the I’d doesn’t consultant route if you have an entrepreneurial itch.
You could also probably make a killing at teaching high quality skilled tech sales professionals (high barrier to entry) how to start their own consulting company. I’d pay for that.
You’re not alone. Took a massive pay cut the end of last year and I’ve been trying so hard to bounce back. I’ve had 5 interviews with no luck, the last couple of months. Most recent company, did 3 interviews, 1 interview assignment, t final interview was with a panel. Felt like everything went great. A week later. . . I sent a follow up email thanking them for their time during the holidays and asking if there were any updates to my application and interview or if I could provide any further information. Got an email then next day saying they went with other candidates. I was so hoping I’d get the job.
Knowing that I am not alone has helped me. As long as I stay connected to my community and that may be just going to the market and hello and ask how someone else is doing, getting connected to people and more time away from the screen and out hitting the ground running 🏃🏻 up early and self care is always important for my mental health and my physical health. You are not alone, and you will find something even if it’s just a stepping stone so you don’t dig yourself deeper into a hole you will eventually have to get out of. Don’t let yourself go. Remember to remind yourself everyday that you have not lost your value,
