  • Send as many applications as you can, yes, but ensure you’re spreading them out across companies. Also, if you have a social network, leverage it as much as possible. Or, speak with recruiters in your field.

    I have decade+ experience in my field and only got ~5% response rate over a year. In fact, my now boss bypassed their HR to hire me because they couldn’t manage thousands of applications.

    The job market fucking sucks right now.


  • I’m sorry you had those experiences. That’s not fair. Those are NOT descriptions of helpful therapy.

    Do you have a guess on what has contributed toward your symptoms? Very broadly here, nature (e.g., bipolar type 1) vs nurture (e.g., grew up in dysfunctional family)? If you have traumatic symptoms, have you considered a therapist specializing in trauma?

    Am I being paranoid, unlucky or just expecting something that isn’t at all aligned with reality?

    This sounds like bad luck. It’s not you!
