Rejected from Boodle Hatfield after final TC interview. Genuinely devastated, as it was the last application I was waiting to hear back from this cycle. I have just finished the GDL and do not know where to go from here. I would really appreciate some advice from anyone else that has been in a similar situation.
My only advice is that there is no set path when it comes to TCs.
I know it would have been nice to have finished your GDL with a TC lined up and the LPC in between, but things don’t always go according to plan! However, that doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going in the wrong direction. I’m a firm believer that things happen for a reason and this may be sending you in a direction you’ll one day be thankful for.
If I was in your shoes (and I’ve been in similar recently!), I would take a few days to sit down and reflect. Think about your next steps and also realise how far you have come.
Did your interviewers give any feedback? What could you improve based on that? Maybe now is the time to start job hunting (assuming you haven’t got one already) and/or prepare yourself for the next cycle by thinking about where you would like to apply and why.
You did excellently to reach the final stage. However, just because you didn’t get the outcome we all wish for doesn’t mean it’s game over!
