Hi.. I'm a major pessimist and I'm trying to not be one. I mean it does keep me grounded ig because trying to recruit for Summer 2021 (for my junior year summer internship) has faced me with a crap ton of rejections already. I was wondering if you all had any suprise success stories?

first round phone screen for a mid-tier BB (2 phone calls with 2 senior bankers)
all fit - was okay but kept getting cut off cuz of bad cell service and he ended the call earlier than we were scheduled for (30 mins; talked for maybe about 20)
all technicals - screwed my way through most of them, bumbled my way through a wacc build up because i was so hungover, he too ended the call earlier than we were scheduled for
received offer the following week
i think i saw someone on this forum mention something which i quite agree with - you're never as smart as you think when you're on top, and you're never as dumb as you think when you're at the bottom
just have heart, keep grinding through it and trust the process
all the best and i hope you receive good news soon
