The best advice I can give is this: give yourself until the end of the week to mourn. Be depressed about it. In fact, be REALLY depressed about it. Don't sugarcoat it, let it sink all the way in. Get all that negativity and depression out of your system.
On Monday, pick yourself up and work with what you've got. You've got lots of opportunities. Find out what they are and use them to their fullest. Don't let being "rejected" beat you. Give yourself time to grieve then move one.
It's what you're going to do anyway. Just shorten the cycle.
- dfranke 20y agoScrew that. I have better uses for my time than stages of grief. Five hours after I got rejected I took a job with another Cambridge startup, with enough equity for a chance at getting rich.
- jkush 20y agoI'm with ya dfranke. I picked it back up pretty fast too. My point is that we all pick it back up eventually. Some (like you) don't even waste time feeling bad, you get right back to it. Others don't. My point is that if you do feel bad, fine. Feel bad and move on. You're going to move on eventually, so just do it quicker.
