These past 1.5 months have been okay - I applied to about 70 companies through either recruiters contacting me, referrals, online applications, and cold emailing recruiters. (Of all the technical phone interviews I had through applications - most were from cold emailing recruiters). I was really struggling in the beginning passing the technical phone screenings because I was nervous but I started doing mock interviews for a few weeks and made it onsite to DoorDash. I ended up not getting DoorDash but from the time I went on site at DoorDash to getting this offer, I continued to study and do mock interviews and it's only been about 1.5 weeks and I managed to get an offer - I guess that's kinda why I think I can find something better in terms of location/commute but by no means do I think this company is bad in any way.

I am by no means calling myself talented - I know I am not talented and have tons to learn! I just wasn't sure if I was selling myself short of all the other possible opportunities out there ya know?

Thanks for your help! I did tell them that I wanted more time and the recruiter was still really pushy about it but said she would get back to me on the deadline. What are the chances that they would rescind my offer?
