How are people staying positive while applying to hundreds of jobs and hearing nothing back?
I’m genuinely struggling to keep my head up these days. The silence is discouraging, and it’s hard not to take it personally.
If you’ve been through this or are going through it now, how are you coping? What’s keeping you going?

Let’s talk about it because this part of the job search doesn’t get enough attention.

Once you get into a FAANG company, is it better to stay where you are or move around? I’m a dissatisfied with my current job but I have vesting stocks, work 9-5, and people to know and respect me. I am the sole provider for my family and value quality of life and stability. I have some interview requests from other FAANG companies that I know pay more but I worry about starting over. Anyone switch companies and either regret it or are glad they did?

I am a young professional... But every job interview I’ve had so far pretty much just wants to know what kind of person I am. They are as interested in my leadership/communication as much as they are in me talking about my experience.

Is this how it will always be? Or is this predominantly because I am in lower positions at this point in my career?
