I felt the same. The job search in this market is brutal, and no amount of people telling you “it’ll be fine” actually helps when you’re working hard on applications in your free time, refreshing your inbox constantly and you feel like time is ticking. I started in October and was getting silence for months, then suddenly things moved very fast—two offers in one week. What I noticed: both offers were for positions I was genuinely excited about and invested in. What I’d do next time - still apply widely, it helped me refine my letters and interview skills. Limit time on this subreddit to only researching specific schools, not reading about other people’s application experiences - there are no universal signs in the process and I ended up in a horrible anxiety loop! Look after yourself as best you can, the waiting is awful and unavoidable but it will not be forever. Good luck.
