Anyone else getting tired? Im tired of getting ghosted, getting decline emails, waiting for interviews, running into scam recruiters. -_- I love seeing “im happy to announce…” posts on linkedin but cant help but to feel jealous and trapped in a cycle.

I’ve probably created posts and replied to others posts over 10 times since I joined last month.
Don’t let it get to you. My silver lining thought process is: It’s all trial and error. Try different things with your resume, how you approach getting interviewed, etc. Use it as a time to network and leave a good impression for future connections. You’re making yourself better during this process. It’ll happen

Just remember you don't know how long those other people have been looking, how many times they applied, who they knew... etc etc. in other words, just be happy for them in their success because it's no reflection on you or your lack of success finding a new job.

Secondly, yes. Many of us feel the same fatigue. There's a lot of companies taking people through the ringer and not valuing the human on the end of the interview process. Interviewing is a lot like dating... it's not personal, it's just not a good fit 🤷🏻‍♀️

Is RPA sales engineering a good career pivot now? Have been in Cloud SE for 5 years and it is getting mundane. Forget about the Data and AI, realistically majority of the work is around VM migration + RFP + Pricing + pushing commit 2x more than customer's current need, instead of really adding technical and business value to the customer.

RPA seems to be on the rise, there are certainly risk but the value + technology seems to be closer to reality. Love to hear more.
