Another current postdoc here who for some reason can't stay away from these threads (the one
@pontocerebellar and I shared a couple years back was the stuff of legends, y'all
). Just gonna echo everything that she said x 10000 and also throw in this little piece as well:
this process has this really nasty way of feeling like it is the end-all-be-all of your career and training, like this is it, this one defining moment, and that's that. This is not true. There is a life after internship. For example, throughout the notification phase, I got plenty of rejections, but there were 2 from well-known, top-notch sites, both of which I felt like an EXCELLENT for, that stung so hard. I was SO disappointed and confused and felt like I had let supervisors and mentors (who knew people/had trained at these 2 sites) down. Well, fast forward to Match Day when I match at my top site (also a well-known, top notch place) and go on to train at an excellent institution with superb supervisors - it was absolutely the place for me. And THEN fast forward to postdoc season where I apply to 3 positions across those 2 well-known, top-notch sites that rejected me for internship and got offers for all 3 positions I applied for.
Even if it doesn't work out to be what you wanted, thought, or hoped for in this moment, doesn't mean that it won't work out eventually. You will all land exactly when and where you're supposed to. You've all got this!!
Sending all the vibes to every corner of the internet!!! Best of luck to all of y'all!
