Also, interviewing is a skill in itself. Unfortunately there’s no better way to get good at it than to practice on the field.

Thanks, Geneviève, yes you are right of course I am now a better version of myself and have acquired much more skills and knowledge. But I would like to point out that ignoring those opportunities was really not a good take in my life. And got to learn that you should always keep yourself open to opportunities and don't wait for the right moment. There will always be this thing in every exam of life that we feel, we could have done better no matter how much effort we put into it.

At least from college, I understood one major lesson The earlier you are the better you will achieve. Just a small example, Google Meet today date is mostly used for all meeting calls, but it would not have been into this market if they wouldn't release it during the pandemic. Just like Zoom and other services did, so time matters a lot, even in business if you release the right product at the right time it would succeed.

The same product was not successful pre-pandemic and will not be able to capture much in this post-pandemic.

So, yes with the same quality many things only work when the right time comes and if you miss that opportunity then no matter how better the quality is, it doesn't matter. You will not get the same opportunity again.
