Hi all, just wanted to share my miserable journey about job hunting. Currently I am a Software Engineer that tried to get a decent company especially in the UK. I have 7 years of experience as a Software Engineer and tried for the last 3-4 years seriously. I do Leetcode (+750 questions) I used my referral opportunities, I only achieved to get a shitty offer from Microsoft and a couple mid range companies. They always tried to lowball me as their offer were all shit, kind of junior positions. I interviewed with a couple and I got the last rejection mail after finishing all the onsite loop with Stripe today which just wrecked me as I really, really, really wanted that job I am 33 years old, living in a Europe country with negative net worth. No friends, family, nothing... I used to really enjoy eating good, sleeping well and staying active with gym, running and stuff but I don't even drink water right now, I gained weight and all my efforts are wasted, all the joy in life is gone now but whatever... That's my short but full of failures summary of my life... Looks like I am completely useless and very, very bad engineer or developer whatever it is called nowadays. Thanks for reading.
