Same here. About to be 3 years post-uni. It’s really taken a toll on my mental health. Feel like I’ve given this my all, even sacrificing meeting up with friends/family or going on holiday when I had multiple tests, interview, etc to do. I don’t know how people can go on for any longer. I don’t feel myself anymore. :(
You will probably only be one step away from getting an offer. If you knew how close it was, and had been told in life exactly when you would get an offer, you wouldn’t give up. Sometimes when it feels like it’s extremely tough and not working out, that’s when we lock in for the final time and the results are created!
