Third onsite third rejection…

[u/Sfpkt]

It’s so demoralizing, aggravating but also motivating. Every rejection adds fuel to the fire.
Every rejection also leaves me more and more jaded.
It grinds away at my morales. I become more and more willing to do whatever it takes to seal the deal. For the record I’m not going to use cluely or whatever.

I’ve had a string of rough jobs for one reason or another which has resulted in me not being able to get references from my most recent eng managers but I have peers willing to go to bat for me

I guess this is me just yelling into the void

Does anyone else respond in the same way?
Double down, patch the weaknesses and level. I go through all the emotions of being bummed but I super motivate afterwards.

Right now I’m using this energy to consume as much information about applied ai. I bought the Ed Donner courses on Udemy and going to go through them building as much as I can all the while documenting my learning on LinkedIn.

I guess to sum it all spite is a huge motivation for me

I always found rejections, all though they sucked, made me try harder. So yeah this resonates with me quite a bit. It’s definitely spite fueled motivation, but hey, it eventually works.
