Employee finds their dream job outside the ‘finance bro’ space after getting a wakeup call in the form of a cruel list of ‘mistakes’ post-interview: ‘I’m happier than I ever thought I could be'

Looking for a job is tough enough without a bunch of finance bros looking down their noses at you. This employee had a stark realization after striking out at a few interviews that it wasn't the job market pushing her out anymore, it was the bro culture. 

After submitting a few job applications in the finance field, this worker had a strong realization.

Keep scrolling to read how a cruel rejection letter sent this prospective employee catapulting into a new field, fleeing from the gross antics and childish games of the finance space and discovering their dream job in the process.
