Ep. 114: Repost: Rebuilding your confidence after rejection and having grit to find opportunities with Tyler Garvey (Vice President & Counsel at BNP Paribas)

Have you experienced failure in your career?  And you’re struggling with how to pick yourself up?  Tyler shares:

- How he navigated corporate America as a Black man growing up with Caribbean culture in Brooklyn. - What he did as a father during the pandemic to support his wife and children.  - How he overcame the odds of landing a Big Law job after graduation when he received a “no offer” after his 2L summer internship.  - Why crying helped him work through feeling depressed from his career setback and how he picked himself back up.   - How his motto of when the door closes, find a window that’s open helped him to land new opportunities.  - What getting rejected taught him about being proactive in getting feedback, finding mentors, and being kind to those who work for him.  - What he did to put himself in a position to land his first in-house role and how he made career pivots.  - Why it’s OK to not be OK, and the importance of asking for help.
