Advice to Students:

Keep going! It took several months for me to get a job after graduation, as it did for a lot of my classmates; it’s not an indictment on you or your abilities in any way. You have a lot of time—don’t feel like if you don’t absolutely nail your first job, your career will go off the rails. A lot of people switch firms, change careers, etc., and that’s fine. Not everyone knows what they want to be at 22. Reach out to alums, we’re usually happy to help! But please be polite and be reliable—don’t ghost, show up late, come unprepared, or otherwise take things for granted.
