Could use some motivation
Hi Everyone,
Got laid off end of November from one of Canada's largest companies but "official" last day on paper will be end of February even though I havent worked since November. This was my first job after graduation as a SDE. Worked there for 2 internships/co-ops and got hired full time before my second internship. So about 2 years YOE at the company and 3 years including other internships but total YOE outside school (1.5 years).
It's been rough like my mental health has been in the gutter and had a few breakdowns. Had a few interviews and some final rounds but rejected from all some with little or no feedback but some with "We need more experience" all for Junior roles which is insane.
Then went weeks without interviews and had one yesterday where the interviewer was just blatantly rude. She kept dismissing my points and I don't think she even read my resume because she kept saying "I don't believe you have any experience" and kept trying to speak and she still kept on saying "I just don't believe you" and I was taken back and utterly shocked. Is this what the market has come to?
All that to say is that I broke down today and can't help but think and know things could change in 5-10 years or even 1 year or less but I just feel so stuck and demoralized because this is one very hard mental battle to keep going everyday and feel so exhausted and to get rejection after rejection hurts.
