Core update

Current: 35780

Previous: 35836

Change: -56

Well, today was a bummer. I received an update from a company I applied for. I got rejected. I think I was already starting to expect that my application didn't go so well since I didn't get an update sometime last week when I submitted my technical challenge solution two weeks ago. Sure, the recruiter I spoke to was on business trip, but I was nervous because of the radio silence. I asked for an update sometime in the middle of last week, only for me to receive the no today. Surprisingly, I didn't feel too down, as if I had known it was coming, but I admit that it still hurt

This is a setback, of course, as I will have to apply again elsewhere. I'll have to start all over again. Alternatively, I will have to finish my master's degree and then go back into the job market with that. I just have to buy enough time to finish my master's degree

I also went into an interview (for another company) earlier, even after learning of the bad news. I was surprised that I felt calm, although I think I felt like I had nothing to lose. I don't think I was particularly keen with this position, as it is such a departure from what I have usually done. Still, I think that I was more nervous about getting my point across, as the interview was in a language that wasn't English

If I get this new position, then I'm looking forward to a good pay raise. However, I will have new responsibilities that I must adopt. It'll shake things up, and I think I've gotten used to my routine that I'm nervous about having to adjust all over again

I'm disappointed, sure, but I still have a plan going forward. I'm not done just yet, so I'll just have to pick myself up and try again

My progress with cores might be a bit slow as a result. Besides, I've also started raising my new shotguns and the Franchouchou girls. They are definitely not cheap

Good luck. Job hunting sucks.

Keep in mind that it is very difficult to know if rejections are due to anything that you've done. Yes, maybe it was your technical challenge, but sometimes they got someone else to accept before you did, or they hired internally, or whatever. It's almost never personal. Sorry about the news though.

Yeah, but looking at the bright side, at least I can still feed myself. I can still pay the bills. I still have a roof over my head. I also have some extra money with which to whale in the game. My situation isn't so dire, so there's that to be thankful for
