I hate the post-interview gloom after it feels like you blew it. Was a highly technical interview and the interviewers were quite impersonal so that has added to the feeling of failure. I know I’m capable of doing the job and growing but no one wants to take that chance. Feels like consulting all over again where as an analyst, they say you’re able to learn but then only staff those with like 90-100% prior experience vs. someone who has only 50-75% but is highly capable. It sucks ass.

I did 9 interviews and bombed 1 highly technical with a woman who showed no signs of anything. Anyway they didn't offer me the role but they offered me an opportunity to do one more interview with another team. Just continue to work at it and someone will give you a shot.
