Struck out on every process...how do I move forward?
Went through three different processes that progressed to superday and had a couple of other first rounds. Not a single one converted. Now I'm sitting here contemplating the last four years of my life having lost every bit of hope. And before you say pivot to consulting, I can't even do that because my target school is an absolute non-target shit show in the consulting world.
What options do I have at this point? I just feel so lost and feeling like I fucked up my life irreparably.
(Mods, please keep this here and let me vent, thank you).
First, decide whether you can face more rejection - yes, it sucks, but life is full of it. Use it as motivation to keep going… or don’t.
Second, if you decide you want to keep going, ask if you can get some brutally honest feedback from someone in the team. Then implement it and go again.
Ball’s in your court. IB’s tough to break into so don’t get too down about it.
Firstly, keep recruiting. Fire out as many cold emails for internships as you can and follow any new roles that come up.
Secondly, do a self-assessment as to why you got dinged from your processes - you should have a general idea f you haven't received direct feedback. If you're weak on technicals then there's a pretty obvious lesson there. If you are fine on technicals but somehow keep getting rejected then the problem is culture fit - for this you need to start from scratch and learn how to interview well qualitatively. I suffered this issue of getting dinged because of culture-fit and (this might be terrible advice) but I started having a tequila shot or two before my interviews and stopped drinking caffeine on the day of the interview which helped massively. There is nothing innately wrong about you, its about how you carry yourself in the interview. Happy to elaborate if you have any other questions as I went from failure -> good offer by changing the way I interviewed fundamentally
