I’ve been searching for a job since I was pushed out of a toxic workplace last June. I’ve put in so much effort—networking, applying, interviewing—only to keep hitting the same wall. Every time I get close, I make it to the final round, and then… rejection. Over and over again. After so many near-misses, I’m starting to lose hope.

I'm in the same boat, I've been searching for 4-5 months and have faced multiple final-round rejections. I’d say keep going it sounds corny, but the only way we fail is if we stop trying.

Ugh I am so sorry to hear that. one of my good friends is going through something similar and has been looking for over a year and still can't seem to find anything. Hang in there. If you give up now you won't find anything ever.

Would it be hard to get a exp associate role in advisory at a B4 as someone with about 10 months in audit at EY, 7 months experience in corporate accounting at a F300 and CPA? Hated my time at the F300 but had thought the grass would be greener in industry. I’m starting a financial analyst position at a major hospital system in my area soon and want to stick with that for a couple years before making a transition but was curious if I just don’t have the right experience for a role in advisory.
