    I recently went through a frustrating experience with DoorDash. After applying for a role, I spent three weeks in the interview process, only to have them cancel the position at the last minute. It was disheartening to invest so much time and energy, only to be left empty-handed. I've learned that it's crucial to keep looking for other opportunities, even when you think you're close to landing a job. I won't let this setback stop me from continuing my job search.

    Applied to a Job Feeling Miscellaneous #

    I recently went through a frustrating experience with DoorDash while applying for their Associate Data & Strategy role. I was really excited about the opportunity and prepared thoroughly for the recruiter screen. However, on the day of the interview, the recruiter had to reschedule because they were sick. I understood and rearranged my schedule. Unfortunately, the same thing happened again the following week; they rescheduled on the same day due to ongoing illness. By this point, I had already adjusted my plans twice and waited almost two weeks just to have a conversation. Then, out of the blue, I received an email stating that DoorDash is no longer hiring for the position, and my interview was canceled. It wasn't even a rejection after an interview; the role was simply canceled after all that waiting. I'm left feeling disrespected and frustrated. Has anyone else experienced companies dragging them along only to cancel roles entirely? This seems like a growing trend, and it’s incredibly disappointing.

    Applied to a Job Feeling Miscellaneous Planning Thinking

    I recently graduated with a Computer Science degree about two weeks ago, and I'm feeling really overwhelmed with the job search. I've applied to over 200 positions just in this short time and had been sending out applications throughout my senior year as well. Unfortunately, most companies either reject my applications, ghost me, or I get through the initial interview stages but then hear nothing back. I've completed two software engineering internships, so I do have some experience, but landing a full-time job has been a real struggle. At this point, I'm open to roles that aren't strictly software engineering. I'm looking for something stable, full-time, and an environment where I can grow without constantly feeling like I'm fighting for a chance. I'm curious if anyone else who graduated with a CS degree has switched career paths successfully. What entry-level roles are out there that would value my background but don't require intense live coding interviews? I'm even considering fields outside of tech, like finance, analyst positions, or business-related roles, despite not having a formal background in those areas. I'm willing to learn and start from the ground up if necessary. I'm just eager to find realistic entry-level opportunities in industries like finance, consulting, or operations, as I really want to avoid being unemployed for months.
