Starting Friday (early morning) with a Google rejection saying the interview is cancelled less than 2 days after its scheduling. Got rejected from Apple too this week.

On the bright side, I recently got promoted and have been receiving great PPMD & SM feedback for a few weeks & genuinely felt proud of my work+feats - I think that is equally, if not, more important than getting praise. Gotta take life with the good & the bad.

Gonna keep trying for FAANG & MBB still! We all gotta keep swimming!

Good attitude! Maybe it’s not your time yet to leave, your journey as a new M will bring you many new opportunities and growth. This is the level that I enjoy the most at the firm..you’re just 2 promotions away from Partner, not a bad career path ;)

Lol SC not M. But on the projects I’m working on there’s no M, so I’m leading delivery and delegation. Appreciate the encouragement tho!
