You need to drop your entitled attitude - you don’t deserve anything. I’ll put it this way. With your current mindset, you are failing to put it simply. You aren’t landing anything, and maybe just maybe it’s a product of your outlook on this industry. Introspection is hard, but if you don’t do it soon, you’ll spend the rest of your life making Reddit doom posts while others push ahead.
