I am very good at all layers of the stack (except maybe just decent on the frontend), yet it's hard to stand out when any open position has 500+ resumes applying for it.
My self esteem and confidence is at an all time low. It is soul-crushing to have had a brilliant career and get barely 1% response rate. I can't only blame it on my CV being terrible (went through half a dozen iterations already)
This is what the job market has been like for non tech workers for the last decade.
You can’t take things personally, focus on the process and just understand that things are outside of your control. You’ll get bites eventually but it’s a slog.
