I'm a 28-year-old Financial Auditor who has been struggling with job interviews lately. I started my career as a Securitization Analyst at a large French Investment Bank, where I found the work intellectually stimulating for two years. However, I decided to move to Luxembourg for a better salary and more opportunities, which led me to a Big 4 firm. Unfortunately, I absolutely hated my time there; the micromanagement, fake deadlines, and power trips from management made every day unbearable. I've been in that environment for two years now and it's taken a toll on me. In an effort to find a better fit, I've been applying to other companies and have managed to secure several interviews. However, I've faced rejection after rejection. Here's a quick rundown of my recent attempts: - Small PE fund: Associate role, rejected at the last round (5 interviews) - Fitch Ratings (Frankfurt): Senior Credit Analyst, rejected at the last round - Risk and Valuation company: Senior Valuation Consultant, rejected at the last round (behavioral interview) - Blackstone: Risk and Valuation Associate, rejected at the third round I'm starting to feel really frustrated and confused. Clearly, I'm making it to the final rounds, but I can't help but wonder what's going wrong. I'm beginning to think that the behavioral and culture fit interviews might be where I'm falling short. After two years of being unhappy at work, I might be projecting some negative energy that interviewers are picking up on. It's disheartening and I'm not sure how to turn things around.
