The Dream Job Rejection

This is the rejection letter from my "dream job" at a top design agency in 2019. I was so sure I nailed the interview. When I got this email, I felt completely worthless. I thought my career was over before it really started. I spent a week in bed eating ice cream. But because nobody would hire me, I was forced to take low-paying freelance gigs just to pay rent. Those gigs eventually turned into my own agency, which now earns 3x what that "dream job" would have paid me. This "NO" was the most important "YES" of my life. It pushed me off the safe path and onto the right one.
