Laughing at the part on Operating Systems course. This is like a whole different world when coming from the software engineering courses. But in hindsight, this is really useful stuff to understand how to write better algorithms. And it could be a fundamental if you decide to go into drivers or writing your own OS one day.

@Cristiano Benedetto And you know what's even more demoralizing? Getting to those final steps thinking you are finally making it, fantasizing on how you gonna kick-start all the plans you had for when you get the position, and the things you have in pause right now because you need this to keep moving forward with the rest of your life. And also meeting these talkative and nice recruiters or hiring managers that you meet in a interview round while acing the questions thinking you are killing it and thinking that they are liking and considering you for this position only for then later they reject you with a one line email telling you that they chose another candidate who either has an almost insignificant small advantage over you like he knows or someone leagues about you who worked for faang or something like that. In the end applying for jobs is like performing. You are mounting a whole spectacle to charm and enchant the hiring team with lots of sound and smoke. With lot of style and no substance. They want to see you dance like a monkey and to win you should give them what they want, this is the conclusion I've reached with this experience.

Finally got a software engineer job = country announced visa ban on Africans. --- Now at the beginning of 3rd year out of university, have set an ultimatum to go back to washing dishes if I don't get a job by December. The tech job market is unstable and a mess. If I hadn't stopped washing dishes I think I'd still have a stable career as a hotel/restaurant manager by now. Money and time wasted.

I understand this experience in my own field. I graduated with a C.S. degree, not for coding but more for MSP break/fix things, and it took easily 100+ applications, numerous interviews, many second interviews, and a few third/final interviews, over the course of nearly a year before landing my first job in my field. The problem that we are going to face, respectively, is the sheer volume of applications towards jobs, especially now that remote is a thing. You are against *everyone*, in the world, who many will be either equally as qualified, or even more so, or a hundred other potential reasons why they choose someone else. The only answer to this is just brute force your way in each time. Eventually, the odds will be in you favor.
