I'm tired. Tired of rejections. Tired of this dead ass job. Tired of 2, 3, 4 interviews just to get a position. Tired of the same fucking Workday applications. I'm over it. Just needed to vent. Make sure yall take care of yourselves.

    Im going through the same thing. I went hard with my job hunt and applied to many places at once. Had my first onsite last month(which I got rejected). Then scheduled 5 for February. I've gotten 2 rejections so far, expecting another one from my onsite yesterday. I've got one downleveled offer for pretty poor pay.

    2 more on-sites left and I'm not feeling great considering all the effort I put into preparing and just raw time talking to recruiters and interviewers.

    My gameplan going forward (assuming I don't get offers in this batch) is to only do 2 companies at a time. It'll be less time intensive, my interview skills will get better over time, and I really do believe that eventually the stars will align and I'll accidentally do well on a company's onsite.

    I get incredibly nervous in interviews and fuck up in ways that I wouldnt in any other environment. I just need to play the numbers and eventually I'll get a situation where I'm not nervous and perform well.

    Good luck with your journey. Slow your roll, make sure you're leaving time in the day to exerciseand sleep.

    Go work for Workday and use your experience to improve the apps. They are hiring and growing.
