It's fine to feel down, but you just got a ton of great exposure to company cultures and free interview prep! I got a ton of nos in a route to yeses from McK and BCG.

You've still got two FAANGs to crack, and anyway the world is bigger than those 8 firms. You can work elsewhere, and they'll still be up for hiring you next year to backfill the people who burned out in the meantime (if you're even still interested).

Sorry to hear. Hang in there. Know that can be a rough spot...

Figure out which questions / requirements you fell short on and work to improve them for next time.

Also there are a ton of opportunities that pay in the same ball park (some even with higher potential if you get into tech that explodes), just with less prestige which at the end of the day wont matter

One more FAANG reached out. I guess only one rejected left before ive caught them all

I have all the data to do this, but wanted your thoughts. Would the output of this be relevant to you?
