How do I stay motivated in my finance job search while dealing with depression and constant rejection?
I'm graduating in a week with a business degree from a U.S. university. Before this, I built and exited my own startup, where I was deeply involved in finance, strategy, and operations. I came to the U.S. to gain global exposure and invested everything I had from my startup into this education even taking on loans to make it work. Now, as I try to start my career in finance especially in analyst roles I’m facing constant rejection. It’s incredibly discouraging. I know I bring a unique background to the table, and I’ve worked hard to align my experience with what these roles require, but I'm still not getting offers. The financial pressure from student loans and the emotional toll of not seeing results despite my efforts has led to depression. Some days it’s hard to stay positive or even keep applying. To professionals or anyone who's been through this: How did you push through this kind of situation? What helped you stay focused and mentally healthy while trying to break into a competitive field?
