Job rejections with “We went with someone more senior” hit hard when the posting says 3–5 years and I’ve got 6. It’s starting to feel like a polite way to say “We didn’t like you.” How do you handle vague rejection feedback like that?

It probably means they found someone with 10 years of experience, but will do it for the 3-5 years of experience pay. Rejection is hard to take, especially if you are like me and are constantly being rejected. But I’m still trying!

Just because you have more years of experience than the posting, doesn’t mean you have the skill set…

Why is this sad? If I don’t like you as a person, why would I like you as an employee??

Dont you worry about the why. You will not change because they did not chose you. Be ready for the next one. Destiny is written i believe. You will find your place.

I can't spend 14 hours each day feeling like this:(

Is there such things as FP&A positions in Big 4? If so, are there better times to make the change than others (I.e. at senior vs manager)?

My current company and many others I know about do not offer the mobility to do so until much later, which is not what I want. Thank you.
