    So sorry to hear that. I know how hard it is to talk about these things because I was asked a similar question during an interview and found it a little hard to talk about. However, someone from WBD Grad Rec told me to always be open and honest about these things because that shows that we can...

    I wasn’t implying anything either just stating how I feel as someone who was not very privileged. Not everyone’s journey is smooth and I know that firms are are more welcoming to that now, but there is still room for improvement. Thank you. Best of luck to you on your journey too!

    Yo Thank you so much! That’s so kind of you. It really really sucks getting 6 rejections in such a short span of time.
