I completed an undergrad in international business and paired it with an MBA, and BARELY managed to find an internship of 3 months after which it took me over 10 months to land my first full time job, which lasted 8months and which was an absolute nightmare (we're talking 8am until 11pm with unpaid overtime and an abusive (and probably unstable) boss that yelled at and called myself and other colleagues horrible names – think motherf***er, dogs, shut the f up, etc.), where our department finally got laid off due to financial issues. I have gained an enormous amount of experience in that role – especially because it was a startup, so I was helping out in other departments too – yet no company seems to want someone with just 1 year of professional experience. What's wrong with companies today? Do they not train anymore? Do I need to go back to school and get another degree?
I feel like everything I saved up is melting as I am looking for another job and am slowly becoming bitter of being stuck in a limbo of sacrificing so much and living way below my means and saying no to people, just to being close to forced to move in with my parents again. What am I doing wrong?
