Been looking since about February. I've probably sent out at least a hundred apps for positions I was interested in and met qualifications for.
I think I've made it to a recruiter screen around ~10 times, and I've had less than 5 actual interviews follow.
I have 6+ years in industry, 4 and some change of which were FAANG (which everyone believes is a golden ticket into any company). And I can't even get an interview.
I'm with OP. The grind is straight up depressing, demoralizing, soul crushing. I'm close to moving in with family just to preserve my money at this point.
