2 final rounds, Dinged both times

I got to 2 final rounds, after a couple of brutal months. Got the news this week that in both of those processes, I fell slightly short and they went with someone else.

Mentally, I am really struggling - really gave it my all, and am now mentally and physically exhausted. Thought I had done well.

I don't even have the courage/desire to start looking again.

Would appreciate any advice

What’s it for? I know FT for banking is brutal this year as my bank doesn’t have any plans to hire. SA seems a little delayed and students at my school still getting interviews. Keep it up!
