I messed up my interview with Millennium LLP for an entry level role and I feel nothing but dread right now. I believe it was my only opportunity at obtaining a high salary / profile job compared to my other options that only pay half as much. How can I accept the fact that I might not be able to start out as successful as I wanted to be? I believe it’s extremely difficult to jump between layers (E.G. Big 4 to MBB) later on in my career.

You must be able to compartmentalize your feelings, goals, and the work you put in. Set a realistic goal first, in order for you to not get discouraged when first starting out. The biggest mistake I see with young professionals is that they jump to conclusions without putting in the work first.

Hello there. You are young and full of ambition, we get that. We were all there once. Success is a product of building habits that ensure you succeed, it is a step by step process and not just a one-time thing. In order to succeed in the long run, you need to succeed in doing the small and menial tasks everyday.

Hi, OP! Honestly, most of us did not start our careers with our dream job or with a high-paying jobs. Do not be discouraged. You'll face even bigger challenges and more rejections in the future so you need to be tough.

Your first job out of college doesn't define how successful you will be in the future. That being said if you see a Deloitte job you are interested in please let me know because I would be happy to refer you and help out anyway I can.

I've read through every one of these threads and used the observations / advice I've seen here paired with my own research to get "into the game."

I also bought $1000 worth of ethereum at $210 yesterday because I thought that was a good price, but it's only continued to fall... is that a long term hold or should I convert it to Gnosis or something else?

Company considers the woman a riskier bet due to possibility she’ll take maternity leave — and considers the man less risky for his ineligibility to take as much leave. 🤷
