Anyone else feel like it's hard to get excited about a role, at the start of a new interview process even when things seem to go good?

Feel like I've been here too many times before - where the interview feels great only to be ghosted or told how great I was but they won't be moving forward - to get excited.

If anything starting to feel a sense of dread that I'm walking into nothing-ville But also recognize this is a numbers game and I just gotta keep shooting.

I definitely understand that feeling I’ve gone to the final fifth round with three different companies and now I’ve got a second round with an awesome consulting firm tomorrow and honestly I’m dreading it because I know even if I do well I’ll have to do three more. This is the first time my life that I truly regret going into corporate and wish I just found something to be good at and became an entrepreneur.

I am really getting less and less excited at the current job market every single day. And it doesn't matter what industry. Send out hundreds of resumes and applications. The AI bots disregard 98% of all applicants before any human even knows you applied. I am seeing that you have to know AI to even have a chance But the more I look into AI and what industry wants you to know about AI, any job you are interested in is short lived, and from what we know about the recent layoffs, we can expect only a couple of years at best at any one company. If you are hired, with AI as part of your requirements, every interaction with AI creates a learning experience for AI to know your job to eventually take over. AI doesn't require compensation Add robotics to the AI network and we humans will never have value in the workforce again.

Of course this is just my honest opinion of what I see with the world today. And right now, I have a lot of time thanks to being disregarded by AI

Take a month or two off working and use that time to plan thoughtfully on my next move. Would having that gap in my resume be an issue when I go back to the job market?

I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?

I had been practising DSA for years and the competition is only ever growing.

Is there a risk of accepting a role with Upstart currently? I seen a 7% layoff recently for hourly employees but I would be salaried. I am well aware it’s a risk in tech overall right now but curious on thoughts thanks!
