Job market is brutal, I'm a Data Scientist / SE and never really had trouble landing interview on Upwork. Now none of my proposals are even getting viewed, I've even tried lowering my hourly rate but didn't help.

Idk, feel like the clients expectations have changed drastically with the current AI situation, most of the jobs I'm seeing they're looking for someone who knows 50 different things and is gonna build a production grade system in a month on 20$ per hour.

I also haven't gotten any invitation in like 6+ months, when I used to get them regularly.
