I lost my job last month and I haven't been able to find anything since. I'm so disappointed in myself for getting fired, I'm worried about paying rent and having money in general, and the nonstop rejections from every job I apply to is crushing my soul. I feel like I'm drowning and I'm struggling not to give up. How do people get past feelings like these?

When I was searching, I felt the same way sometimes. I always told myself that I need to stay motivated in order to keep up with applying. I would also try my best to keep my mood up as well, since it would probably affect my interview performance. I’d also try not to take rejections as such a loss, but that the opportunity was not for me

Hey there ! Keep your head up high ! God works in mysterious/numerous of ways. I too was once applying to jobs that either denied me or were just “ghost jobs” (jobs that have up apps, and are not hiring). I was walking 2-3 miles everyday just to find one. I had interviews that felt rushed, no feedback afterwards, etc. you just have to manage your faith and pray. Trust me, it works ! Manifestation is real.

I can relate. Lost my near end of February and haven’t found anything I want yet. Only one interview. It’s a hard road to travel. I feel just as hopeless. Feel I must try for jobs I do not want in order to go to work and there still are no guarantees.

Do not fall for the Cigna 'recruiter' yall, it's 100% a scam. Cigna has a statement on their website about these fake job scammers, don't give them your personal info or send them money. Honestly I wouldn't even be comfortable with them having my email. This is a link to Cigna's statement but if you're as wary as me and don't like clicking links, you can find it at the top of their 'careers' section on their site. Be safe 🙏

It’s just a job. And being late on bills is very underrated. They’ll get the money when they get it. Just tell them what the deal is. Things are how they are. Nobody is rushing to give you money, right? Exactly.

I’m a second year BigLaw associate that pays market. I was offered the position at a modified salary and hourly expectation due to their expected work flow needs. I’m wondering what is the best way to approach the topic of getting on the full salary/hours. Do I wait until the bonuses are given at the end of my first year? Or bring it up at mid-year review? I won’t have any problem meeting my hourly so I’m starting to think I’m being underpaid. I’ve been reading on here that not meeting
