Never believed in the meme of “entry level job: needs years of experience” unit it happened to me.

After a month of interviewing, an IQ test, and a modelling test, just got rejected for my dream job in the final round. Absolutely devastated and ashamed. I feel like I’ll never be good enough.

For a second I was wondering what kind of job required both an IQ Test and a good looks (model) test 🤣

If you made it to the final round it’s not a years of experience issue

Hi Folks,

I'm actively looking for a job change in a profile completely different than what I'm doing currently.
My manager is sending me on-site and this will interrupt my interviews and preparation also.
And by that time if I receive any offer letter, I don't know what should I do?

Shall I reject the on site opportunity or go with it and reject the new offer?
