Discouraged about job hunt.

Jan 7 31 Comments

I’m beginning to feel really discouraged when it comes to my job hunt. I know I have the skills, drive, and ambition for all of the roles I am applying for at FAANG, but all I’m seeing is either rejection or nothing at all. I’ve been trying to get out of my current company since the pandemic started and I haven’t had any luck. I’m tired of feeling depressed about it and really want a change soon.

Any advice or referrals are appropriated.

    Non tech guy here (with a tech spouse). Both of us changed to FAANG in 2021. If you haven’t already: NETWORK. it’s a lot of work and feel fake initially but just keep at it pls.It gets results faster than applying online to bots in the cyber black hole.

      Yes, but only upto getting the interviews. After that its mostly upto the individual’s capability, luck, continuous drive and perseverance.

      Agree. But there are plenty of highly intelligent people competing for the same positions. Being suitable for the job is the bare minimum.

    Keep LC ! Try to talk to more recruiters from the same company . If it helps, switch to even start ups since that will make your life easier and move to some FAANG . You got this !
