The third and final episode of the interview series is here!

We're picking up right where we left off, at perhaps the most frightening point of all: the aftermath. The interview is over, you're leaving the building, and then you queue up Zendaya's hit song "Replay" because it's time to rethink the entire experience as you make your way home.

Today, we discuss why obsessively reflecting upon the interview gives us a false sense of control, what happens when we idealize a job with no data to support it, and what to do when you have to return to a job you've already checked out from.

We then get into how to compartmentalize rejection and being ghosted, whether "when one door closes another door opens" is true, why there are no wasted learning opportunities, and how to ask for feedback.

We also talk about how to figure out the sacrifices you're willing to make for a career move, what happens when the job you accepted isn't what you thought it would be, how to navigate receiving multiple offers, and why it's okay to pause and just be happy where you are.
