It's tough to be turned down or ghosted by a job that you genuinely felt was the perfect fit, but just try and remember there are plenty of opportunities out there. I try to remind myself that what's meant to be won't pass me by (cheesy but helpful at times).
Yeah I thought it was the perfect fit, but you're right. Gotta keep pushing forward
Used the think the same last year, looking back I’m saying thank god I didn’t get it, sometimes it works out better than you ever thought
I'm sorry to hear that. Do you have other options?
Yes! Although the one I got dinged from seemed to be the best fit
I'm sorry you're going through this. Try to think of it as a blessing in disguise. There may be better opportunities for you elsewhere.
What happened? If you don't mind sharing.
There wasn't a question I fumbled over, so perhaps it was a fit thing, but I thought we vibed pretty well.
Dinged from what I thought was the perfect job. Got into a process 2 weeks later - got an offer with a promotion - with a great bank, chill MDs - at a better city. The road is long.
What?
Just a job, don’t get emotionally attached to that

I totally get it. I had an internship at my dream firm that was revoked due to visa issues. I was devastated for many months, thinking that it just wasn’t in the cards for me. A year later I started FT at a different shop and lateraled over to my “dream firm” which I’m very happy at now.
But even the recruiting process felt very lucky and opportunistic. I applied to many rules in NY and got rejected from all of them until finally getting a few offers, in which I signed with a top 3 BB (my dream firm).
So don’t get discouraged! Just gotta get back on the horse and keep pushing forward. If you wanna chat, feel free to DM :)
For now, hope you feel better
