Recruiting fucks with your head wayyy too much

Got a rejection from EB and will be interning at mid-tier balance sheet bank for this upcoming summer in IBD. Was really down and confused, but I just realized that it doesn't matter, I made it in. 

Recruiting does this weird thing where it's like you forget your whole goal was to break in somewhere decent, and deep down you know that's all that really matters for the first few years. 

Just a weird thought lol
