Sigh. Got the real inferior feels today. My co-worker somehow managed to interview and land a new job within two weeks whereas meanwhile I've been applying and interviewing for roles in the same areas over the last few months with no success and feedback ranging from 'we hired internally', 'too much experience' and 'not enough experience'...ugh maybe I just suck at my job.

If it’s any consolation, we are going through this here as well. It happens at ALL levels of expertise and experience and sometimes doesn’t even matter how big your network is. Think of it as a missed opportunity for the company that didn’t hire YOU. They are the ones missing out. You’ll get there.

I honestly believe interviews are more for me than for the company hiring me. It sounds cocky, but it means you ask better questions and can gauge if you'll be happy with the role to avoid headaches down the track.
