As you can see here, my recruiting has come down the lower levels. I am not even sure how to find another job now. Over all these weekends, I had been going to buy stuff for the house or for winter wear.  I think I am finally done buying stuff. I went to a mall yesterday. It was full of people doing holiday shopping. I stepped into a H&M store and there was a long line of people waiting to try out clothes. I did see some that I liked but I was getting late and returned back.

I have to email people and start networking. I am casing on the weekdays and I did 3 cases last week.  I need to do more and also network more with people. 

Day 15 - Nov 15

It's so funny when people try to take advantage of me or try to find out where I am and what I'm doing. I am not reachable to people. The reasoning for me was that people always are curious about what is happening with me, but never willing to help me. Those who are willing to help are not really curious. It's these people who I am in touch with either through emails or otherwise. 

I moved to another team and the work is sort of better. At least I have one person on the team who lets me know what she wants and I can deliver that and leave at 5:00 pm. I don't have time to break my head and learn some arcane product which is never going to be useful in my career. I would rather take a break and do something else.

I have to find time to recruit. That's something I haven't been doing. I did a case yesterday and it was sort of ok. I did the calculations but more refinement is needed on the framework part.

Day 2 - Nov 2

I'm still going to try for Capital One. Can't believe its going to be 6 months since I last applied. I have one regular case interview partner and I'm practicing with her. Also, I need to practice on my own as well and I did two cases today. I made a lot of mistakes in the calculations and I really need to be careful about it. 

Day 1 - Nov 1

I finally found a job. A role which is not really relevant to MBA, but I took it as a backup option. I have to still keep looking. I will document my journey going forward.
