Less than 24 hours later, I had a job interview with a pretty well known startup in my country and I got a fantastic job offer a couple of hours later with a ton of benefits, higher salary and a more senior role to work with a product I actually believe in.

Moral of the story? Maybe the future holds a lot better things for you. When a window closes, maybe a door will open for you.
