Over the last few weeks I've made it to two final interviews only to be completely ghosted afterward. One company even had me meet my future team! I'm so close, but it feels like I'm hitting a wall and I'm feeling discouraged. How do you all keep pushing forward and stay motivated in your search?

I am sorry you went through that. Being ghosted after interviewing is frustrating. Good news is seems like you are getting close and making it through the interviews well. Just a matter of picking out those little wins and reminding yourself of them.

Staying motivated seems to be the hardest part of job searching, especially these days. It's hard to keep applying for things when you know the chance of hearing anything positive is so slim. It's just a matter of staying hopeful and utterly stubborn, and pushing yourself to keep plugging away.

The ghosting is so exhausting. I miss when there used to be an element of professionalism to job hunting. I find the thing that helps me stay motivated is taking breaks anytime I need them. I never let myself feel guilty about taking a break, either. It helps me get back to things recharged.

Maybe this is the socialist in me but shouldn’t Moderna and Pfizer waive their patent exclusivity for their Covid vaccines? Don’t we have a moral obligation for the world to vaccinate as many people as quickly as possible?

It blows my mind that many countries won’t be able to vaccinate most of their people until 2023. There should be access to vaccine generics
