I could've sworn there was a cap, like apply and be rejected three times and that's it or something, but I can't find that now - is that not the case? Just could be quite significant to people considering 'just apply' advice quite last minute over this weekend is all :)



That's definitely not the case.


Well then I think I might have plans this weekend. Thanks!


My informant says "for w2024 most companies applied 0-3 times previously, but it went as high as 12!"

(Edit: disappointingly to me at least, 12 turned out to be a bug. The highest number of applications for W24 was 6. Still pretty high!)

Good luck with your application if you go ahead with it!


I might beat that for this batch! This will be my 8th application. 2 for my previous company, and 6 with my current startup and co founders.


Might as well have a webpage about "myths about applying" at this point with how much confusion and misinformation there seems to be.
