I swear, every time I’ve been denied from my “dream job” I landed somewhere way better

I actually got the acceptance once from a “dream job” - a place I thought I could retire from in a decade or more. It was so toxic. I survived less than 2 years and was happy to be out!

This... you really can't know the company and how you fit in before you work there. Could have been a nightmare

like

Keep in mind that just because you love a company's product, doesn't necessarily mean that it's a great place to work. Whether you're happy in a job depends more on the people you work with than on the company, and there are great people/teams at all kinds of companies.

Don’t think of it was rejection think of it as re-direction. This path didn’t suit you anymore, youre going to land somewhere else where your value is not only seen, but acknowledged and relied upon. You got this. Keep pushing forward

Yeah it’s tough. Keep pushing.

Rejection from a potential dream job does suck. Perhaps ther is something you were able to learn from that experience and can apply in your next job interview. Also, reasons for rejection vary - stay in touch with the recruiter or hiring manager - retry again in a few months. Keep your head up and push forward.

I have had 2 rejections in the last 2 months. So I can totally relate to it. I am following all the kind words you guys are putting there

On track to max out my 401k and will max my Roth IRA next month. I think I’ll have about 3k to invest by the end of this year before I can start putting contributions toward my 2022 Roth IRA. What do you guys think is the best place for that 3k? Should I max out my 401k faster? Diversify more into crypto (about 1/7 of my network)? One note is that I can’t do mega backdoor Roth.

Couple notes on my situation.

35k in equity (14k in 401k, 16k in Roth IRA, 5k I’m crypto)
11k in debt

Any good resources for those starting in crypto? Seems to be a lot of info out there and not a lot of “here is how it is done” without all the BS and fluff.

Maybe asked a different way, if you could start off on crypto again, what would you do differently (besides not buying a pizza with bitcoin and not mining bitcoin).

Thanks for the help as I venture into this crazy place!

Should you stay in a position that has very limited promotion opportunities because of its org structure? We have a relatively small team of various bands of staff level who report to a Director who has no intentions of adding additional mgt layers (understandably).

If I want to grow into a more strategic role overall, what other options should I look into/discuss?
