[QUOTE="EliteWhovian, post: 147194, member: 26430"] [B]Update:[/B] Thank you to everyone who messaged me and gave me advice. I can officially say, the rejections no longer bother me and it was quite satisfying updating my CV haha! Nonetheless, for anyone else who is in the same boat [or who may be in the same boat in the future], rejection is merely redirection. I have come to realise that I have placed too much worth on a career that I may not even be guaranteed to enjoy in the long-run, so look after what really matters - your mental health. Through combing this lovely forum, seeking advice and researching, I have decided on a game-plan for the next cycle (something I recommend you ALL to do). I applied haphazardly last year, just wishing to get a VS. I believe I've matured somewhat in this regard and I'm now looking towards applying to firms I genuinely see myself working at. I decided I will spread risk by applying to Winter Vacation Schemes and Direct TCs. No summer, no spring. The reason being, my grades took a hit this year, so I'd rather get VS applications out of the way earlier rather than later. As for the Direct TC applications, I will mainly apply to those firms which have a healthy direct stream, whilst leaving the firms that recruit heavily from VS for my winter applications. I'm feeling pretty good and might create a TC journey thread to kick start next year. Once again, thank you all for just being amazing people. <3 And any advice would be humbly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
