My Coding Dream Job Rejected Me

I applied for my dream job at a top tech company last year. I poured my heart and soul into the application process, even staying up late to perfect every detail. Then came the rejection email. Just like that, months of work amounted to nothing. They didn't even want an interview. It's hard not feeling worthless when you've dedicated so much time and effort. Now I'm left wondering if I should have just stuck with what I know instead of chasing a dream.
