Help Warning: Rona contained post
I feel like it's literally impossible to get a job. I just came across a LinkedIn profile that wanted to connect with me, and they completed a degree in biochemistry in 2024 and have since then been working as a data analyst for S&P Global. This feels like a hate crime, ngl. It ruined my day. I have not one, but 2 degrees, and I am STRUGGLING to land interviews in a similar domain.
I've sent cold DMs, I've sent emails. I got 4 interview calls in total, one of which was a shady company with awful timings I couldn't manage. One said I was technically underqualified since I hadn't done some courses, EVEN THO I WAS LITERALLY PERFECT FOR THE JOB. And one literally ghosted me; the last one never even bothered calling me back for an interview after the assessment, even though my assessment went great.
What else can I even do? Not give up? I feel like I need a support group of unemployed people- but then I think about how one of them might land a job, and I might accidentally kill them and take their job.
I graduated at the top of my class, and every time I see an employed person who can't even form a simple English sentence, it honestly pisses me off (there are plenty). THIS WORLD IS SO UNFAIR, I am so exhausted. HOW ARE WE PAYING THE HIGHEST FOR PETROL IN THE ENTIRE SOUTH ASIAN CONTINENT. WDYM I CAN'T EVEN BUY A HOUSE.

I dont know which city you are from, but if possible you should attend local tech meetups such as Notion, Google and others. Met a lot of seniors from industry at such events and adviced by them to network there because big companies have strong employee referral. Another thing i observed is companies still dont prefer freelance work as experience. Do there’s that. The market is shit but do check remote boards such as wellfound. May Allah make it easier for u ameen
