congrats!

the fucked up thing is that 100 applications is actually a really low amount for an offer. i probably get an interview every 400. agony-shivering

There aren’t even 400 openings in my field in my whole state, I’d be doomed if that were the case for me. That sounds so frustrating. I finally got an offer after sending in probably 25 applications over the last six months and that was already frustrating enough. Too few companies will let you know they’ve decided to go with other applicants.
