It's hard not to feel deflated after putting so much effort in, especially at firms you were most excited about.I would really echo the sentiment from other forum users that rejection is redirection - I was devastated after each application I didn't progress for or VS I didn't convert but ultimately, I've ended up with a TC at the firm that is genuinely the best fit for me. Rejection doesn't mean you're not good enough - it just means that you weren't the right fit for that specific process at that time, and there are so many factors that go into these processes that have nothing to do with your potential or capability.I think it's important to try to reframe it as part of the learning curve rather than setback. Each application makes you sharper and more confident - you start understanding how to tailor it better, communicate more clearly, and really refine your narrative and profile as a candidate. Even if it doesn't feel that way right now, you are learning and getting closer with every application. It's okay to take a breather before diving back in, and you can come back with more perspective and energy.Everyone who eventually lands a VS or TC has had their fair share of "no's" along the way (and I've had more than I can count!). The most important thing in this competitive process is to remain reflective and resilient - all you need is that one yes! You're clearly putting in the work and care - that will pay off! Sending lots of good vibes and encouragement your way, and we'll be here to cheer you on <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
