I got to the third and final round of interviews for an internship, but didn't get the job. It took extremely long which is by itself very anxiety inducing. With that said, the woman who interviewed me was extremely nice and I got very personalized feedback by the end which will certainly help me moving forward. I feel like I was valued even though I didn't even make it into the internship, which I'm very grateful for.
