hi, i’m here because i don’t really know who else to talk to.

i’m graduating in May 2023, but so many of my batchmates have secured a job from the Big4.
i have applied for alot of roles, mostly Management Associate programmes because i set high goals and have high expectations for myself. And most of them i actually got into the final round of interview but that’s when i failed because of how competitive it is.
My GPA isnt that great though – second class (lower). Not really sure what to do because im really stressed out. Seems as though im the only one who cant secure a job.
Is it that bad to set high expectations for myself?

Here are what netizens think:
- Welcome to life. Always have dreams but life still goes on
- 2nd lower want to be MA? good to have dreams, but yours are fantasies
- Get some experience and boost up your resume. What you lack in GPA you can make up with experience and accolades.
- There is nothing wrong with setting goals for yourself. But don’t be overly obsessed over it and you don’t have to compare with your friends. Everyone has their own timeline. In fact, go do all the stuff you wanted to,because once you start work you won’t have time to do so. Lastly, the fact that you can reach the final round of interview proves you have certain qualities that impressed them beyond your grades. Jiayous!
- High expectations n low grades doesn’t come tgt, pretty sure the company feels the same way
- No, but if that makes you sad, do you want to continue to hold on to it? Or consider finding a different pond and be a different kind of fish from the rest?
- You can work 2 years and apply again? (If im not wrong, they allow freshgrads up to 1-2 years working experience) or take a masters and go for post grad MA programs. You have to be realistic and know cards you have, but it is also not the end.
