Have submitted resumes to over 100 companies in the past several months, got interview invites from 15 companies, and gone to the second/final around with half of them. Still 0 offer. I'll keep waiting for a couple of days but really can't see how I cannot kill myself if the situation doesn't improve. Oh also I'm here on a work visa and there's no way in hell I'm going back.

What type of job are you looking for? How are you applying? Happy to look at your resume if it would be helpful.

What city are you in? And how much longer can you stay? Might be worth to pick up a temporary job somewhere if possible while you work towards what your bigger goal is. I haven't pursued it yet, but my backup plan right now is to become a certified Salesforce admin which starts around $70k average for entry level. That could be something to look into unless you're really set on something in particular.

OP, how are you doing?
