Do any of you have ever got a job actually by applying to a job posting, getting a response that way? Or was it always a connection?

I got most of my jobs by applying; the only one that was a bit different, when a person I knew who interviewed for that position and got out of the process, shared my contact info with a recruiter, but when I was actually interviewing, hiring managers and the rest thought I applied for that role

Most full-time positions I’ve had have been the result of a freelance booking that eventually led to a job offer.

I have got roles through applying as well, but that seems like a huge uphill battle now.

Ive gotten hired at several different agencies, and I formally applied to zero of them.

I have an associate's degree in graphic design and work designing wedding stationery. I've been at my company since 2016, and am now a design consultant - speaking to customers directly and creating custom artwork and designs for them. I know I'm underpaid (50k/year in the SF Bay Area) but I thought the benefits and stability were worth it. I'm now severely burnt out (most of my team is) and not sure which way to go, or how to grow. Any tips/advice?

Thanks!
