I want to work on large scale systems on cloud. I don't have much hands on prod exp with AWS. Could not learn much AWS because of getting free tier limit overshot many a times and billed.
As I lack great skillsets, I am unable to clear Adobe interviews demanding AWS. I cud not clear big companies with good work coz of technologies.
Although I cracked DS rounds for Adobe, Apple I missed it finally coz of skillsets.
I missed Amazon second time i applied, coz the DS round question was very difficult.

I feel like commiting suicide.

Luck has always betrayed me, once could clear Amazon but it was for Systems dev eng role for some proxy team. Once got offer from Apple verbally and then was rejected after two days, although they mentioned would process offer in a week.

YOE : 8
Want to work on AWS, some big scalable systems.

    There is a quote in Bhagwad Gita(ancient Indian scripture) which helps to keep going even if I think everything is unfair —> “You only have control over the work you put in(karma), not over the results”.Prep hard, you will get the results !!

    Hang in there buddy. Keep hustling and things would eventually fall into place, sooner or later.

    Mention your YoE as well so that people can guide you better. Try not to worry, work is just a part of life. I was in a similar situation years ago. It actually got better when i stopped caring about my work area and started enjoying my life. Life is full of ups and downs and there are no winners, it is all in your mind. Do not equate your sense of achievement to clearing some company interviews.
    And suicide? For something as trivial as interviews ?Seriously? Prep hard and enjoy your journey.
    Feel free to dm if you need someone to talk to.
