    Thank you, I just got rejected from Amazon on Monday after weeks long of interviewing and studying. I do feel terrible afterward because I have been working hard for the past 5 months applying and improving. It feels like all that I done isn't enough yet. It really sucks starting over after a failing final rounds and getting a reject email.

      Very sorry to hear that, that is the worst feeling and it takes a ton of heart to recover and try again but I hope you can do just that and keep going and don't give up

    Thanks man, I needed to hear this. I recently had 7 insane interviews with a company that spanned across 3 months - and was told I should expect an offer soon. This wasn't surprising, since I felt that I crushed every aspect of those interviews. I preemptively started celebrating and sharing with my friends and family; 3 additional months later, I have not heard back. It is tough to keep going, and it feels like things will never work out and i'll be sending new grad applications until I die. However, all you can really do in life is your best, knowing that you'll definitely end up in a better spot than if you were to not try at all.

      I'm really sorry to hear that, that is so disheartening... Applying for new grad roles is the absolute worst and I remember it vividly. The good news is you have lots of career ahead of you so do not give up man, keep on moving

    I really appreciate this video! For everyone out there: keep your head up! You'll land that dream job. Here's two quotes I like a lot: "If you want to change things in a big way, then you gotta make some big changes." and "if you think you can do it or you think you can't do it you are both right". Keep grinding that Leetcode and keep going!

    This is pure gold. I didn't even got rejected but never got a chance to interview with FAANG and got rejected and ignored by numerous companies. Yeah, systems are broken, acing coding interview does not mean you are a good coder whatsoever. All I know no matter what I will keep working hard until I got an offer. Thank you and I wonder where you are now and how are you doing right now.

    You dont need to feel sad about it. There are people out there, like me, who cant even pass near a simple FAANG interview. Solving a tons of hard problems can indicate that you are very good at coding. This not an easy thing.
