Write a thank you note and say you would like to stay in touch in the future. I did that and ended up with a job offer 2 months later.

If you made it to final round, then you’re a strong contender for the next similar role. Plus you’re now on the radar of the hiring managers. Send a note to thank them for considering you and say you hope they’ll keep you in mind for the future. And then have a good cry and the treat of your choice. You did well to get that far.

Your dream role exists are numerous companies, keep applying to others. And if you look at it from a time perspective, you’re bound to be able to land one with more months/years experience

Maintain a good relationship with whoever you interviewed thus far and especially with someone who you think has influence. Communicate the result to him. Ask him if he can connect to someone else in another function/firm with a similar role. Or you know, might help you re-interview after a couple of months.

It wasn't meant to be so keep your head up, your dream job in a great company is just around the corner. This was just practice for it.

The fact you weren’t picked in the end means you wouldn’t have liked it as much as you think. Even if you had gotten it, you wouldn’t have fit in with the clique. Keep trying until you find the right fit

I think I have work trauma not sure how it’s clouding my ability to make decisions. I’ve had unstable work after being laid off from a company 3 years ago. I thought I worked out a plan to get to a stable place but my job is proving to be unstable yet again. I secured a FT role at another company but because it’s a lot less money I’m unsure because I feel very cynical about companies in general. I assume it’ll be just like all the rest but now I’ll just be making less and could get laid off.
