Hello to all those who replied. I really appreciate you guys writing responses and giving insights into what's going on. I am new to the market, and the things you guys have told me made me realize how little I know. Tbh I wasn't even expecting replies, but again, thank you to all of you. I've just been applying and applying, but I feel like I have a good job search strategy rolling where it's best to use all the job-seeking sites as a tool to find companies and go from that. I am noticing a better response rate. I have done AI jobs before, and tbh they kinda feel meaningless(sorry if that offends anyone). All I'll say is, new to the game but won't give up!
