Thinking about giving up.

Exactly what the title says.

I have tried and tried and tried for over 3 years of my undergraduate degree. Hundreds of networking calls, multiple interviews and nothing to show for it.

Just had a 4th round interview with a very small m&a shop and it seems as if I have been ghosted. So feeling very discouraged.

For context I am in my final year of schooling with 3 internships under my belt. One CorpDev role with no deal experience (it was all business development).

I graduate in a few months, so I guess i’m just looking for insight and advice.

Is it over for me?
