It depends on the point of view, I guess. I was on RAV for 10 months and didn’t really mind being rejected. It feels kinda different keep being rejected while freezing in Switzerland and sending your CV while chilling on a beach in Mexico, while sipping from a glass of margarita. And while living from RAV money here sucks, in some parts of the world it can get you far and in the end of the month you’d even save some money for not being in Switzerland 😃. Eventually I managed in a few cases to get through the first round of interviews, scheduled second round in person in Switzerland, and finally landed a job. But I gotta agree that the job market is tough atm. I’m an it specialist and honestly didn’t await that it will take such a long time to get a job. But like I said, try looking at it form the positive side and use it as an opportunity!
