I felt the exact same way after I received my rejection post-VS from what I thought was my dream firm. Today I feel it too - maybe it’s the gloomy weather (which I’m lowkey v grateful for!!) that has also impacted my mood.

But few weeks on after being rejected, and having had my feedback call, I’m in a much better mindset. It almost all makes sense! I know where I went wrong in the final assessments and interview. And when competition is as tough as it is, I don’t even blame them for nitpicking the smallest things to make their decision. I also know what I liked and didn’t like about the firm and I know now what I really want from a firm. I’ve now started planning for the new cycle and feel so much more motivated than I did when I received that horrible email.

Give yourself some time, time really does heal (as cringe as it sounds).
