[QUOTE="Bottega_Veneta, post: 238906, member: 3871"] Ahhh first post of 2026… I initially thought I would delete this whole thread, it was a stark reminder of what my expectations from this cycle were and what actually ended up happening. It’s been a very though ride so far and it still very though currently waiting post app for one firm and the rest waiting for potential ACs invitations. Although I am beyond happy for each forum member here progressing and being successful I can’t help but to compare my journey to theirs. Am I doing something wrong? Is there something personally wrong with me, my grades or my experiences that is preventing me from succeeding? In comparison to the last couple of years, this cycle has been very different, harder more competitive and most importantly very unpredictable but with 17 applications made and 11 rejections the odds are truly against me. Not sure about the future of this thread or my account in general :/ But in the meantime, I will keep the faith and keep applying and see where it leads me. Best, J 🪷 [/QUOTE]
