the problem is you can’t easily go get another job because all the other jobs require a stupid amount of qualifications that don’t really relate to what they are offering in anyway shape or form.
Job postings are a wishlist for an ideal candidate. Only some of the stuff is actually required, For the rest, it varies based on how scarce people able and willing to work in that field are.
To see through the fog, you have to try reaching out. Either apply at places or try to build yourself a network. Sadly I'm not great at it myself. Alternatively, if you have the time and inclination to learn new skills, that's a thing you can do.
the very fucking concept of building a network makes me think violent thoughts.
"hey wouldn't it be funny if we put this job thing behind like 12 layers of people knowing people who know people because i think that would be funny"
