lol finance is a basic degree... Accounting is viable
I keep pushing because I think I'm untouchable. But I'll learn the hard way because I'm only a popcorn fart away from a 30 day ban.

Did you at least offer the interviewer a handy? That's the polite thing to do.

There are many things causing the job market to be bad right now. To simplify it down to participation trophies is a mark of stupidity, which is made worse by being 44.

it's brutal out there boyo. I didn't get a job in my field until 3 years after graduation. srs.

had to work contract jobs in the meantime (in the field) until I could get a full time one later.

People have no idea how hard it is out there. I am pretty sure finding a job right out of college is the hardest thing a millennial will have to do in their life..

Pretty much the same for me. M.A. in a degree focused on public-sector work, and can't even get a fukking interview.

Listen, I'm poverty as **** not even going to lie.

But I'm happy, stress free and most importantly have TIME to experience life.

Would rather live under a bridge than update my resume and do those bull**** job interviews. Godspeed young sir.

Would litterally cream myself if I got offered a position in another state.

Brb experiencing new things. Brb not one of the average saps that never moves outside of where they grew up. Brb parents don't expect you to come visit them all the time. Brb fresh new start.


Edit: just saw your age, none of this probably applies to you.

I had to go to 8 interviews with different companies before I got an offer. Not sure if I'm just autistic at interviews or if everyone is prejudiced against people with no experience.

The funny thing is younger, less experienced people can learn a lot faster and end up doing a lot better than the old people who can't remember how to send an email

Buzzfeed has been trying to hire several financial analysts for months now.

Dataminr is as well.

PM me if you apply to either. I don't work for them but I know the HR person at both.

Are you really this stupid?

My comment wasn't about the job market at all. It was about the crying that he didn't get the job. Life is tough and competitive. The sooner you learn that the better off you'll be.

And, thanks for the neg...

You need connections boyo...it's all about who you know. Didn't college teach you that? Not trying to be a dick, just being real.

Keep trying man, everyone struggles to get that first job in their field and then it's smooth sailing afterwards. One day soon you'll have a bad*ss job and you'll look back on this and laugh at how frustrated you were.
