It was bad enough when I was competing against other laid off first years. Now I'm getting rejection calls and emails (3 boutiques so far) telling me that technically I'm sound but the people they are bringing in for their second & final rounds are 2nd year analysts and have better experience.

now it looks like I won't even be getting final rounds like I did during the summer.

what the fuck?
