I just got rejected for a role at FAANG that I helped create as a result of my project work. The interviewer said it’s funny I am interviewing you and your work is how I am here. I don’t know what I have to do to prove I am qualified anymore. Nothing seems to be working.

So I was offered a role in Strategy Consulting in after 2 years in Risk Consulting however, after 2 years I’ve only worked on Internal audit engagements few ad hocs such as updating risk register and the delegation of authority matrix.

Honestly speaking I am doing good and I am up for promotion in October however I am not fully enjoying my time but I fear that the move would not be a good and I can’t hit the ground running which scares me.

Any advice and past experiences in such career shit?
