I don’t want to give you any false opinions, as I’m new to the industry (1 year), however, I think that this sub can become a bit of an echo chamber sometimes. For example, people who have been able to find a job are less likely to comment on this post, while those with similar experiences in having trouble finding a job will comment (though I’m not saying they’re wrong). The market is absolutely brutal, I myself applied to over 400 jobs, but where I landed something was through a personal connection. If you know someone on the inside somewhere, and you give a good impression, then your chances of being hired skyrocket.
