    Hey, i know how you feel. I felt the same, after receiving nearly 10 rejections in a row, i finally got an AC and then a VS. It’s the only successful app i’ve had. I know it’s disheartening but just remain hopeful, all you need is one yes! It does make me wonder though, how can one firm accept me and all these others reject me when my applications are very similarly written 😅
    It is nice to hear that but also congrats!
