[QUOTE="IRO, post: 94485, member: 9978"] I completely agree with [USER=17155]@AvniD[/USER] 's comments above. I'm disabled (neurodiverse, chronic health conditions, and mental illness) and I found application season tough. I put in 5 applications, and of those I put the most effort into my first choice firm because I knew they were able to offer more disability support than other firms. Compared to a lot of people that might seem like ludicrously little effort. Especially on TCLA/LinkedIn where people will talk about putting in 30/40 applications. But ultimately may not be necessary to put in that many applications, especially if you're disabled and wouldn't be able to submit that many applications without compromising on quality. For me 5 applications was the right amount based on what I could do with my disability and other time commitments. You might find adjusting your goals to be in line with what's achievable with your disability helpful. And I'd definitely recommend avoiding conversations where people discuss their application strategy/successful offers. It'll just distract you from your path and as you say it can make things worse. However, if you are interested in hearing from others, [USER=17149]@gr00[/USER] I'm happy to talk more about disability issues and share my experiences. I accepted my TC with my first choice firm on my first cycle. It's definitely possible to do amazingly well with a disability, even if you're finding the application process tough. [/QUOTE]
