I got a call from the Google recruiter about my L7 em interview Google She said I did overwhelmingly good on all interviews except one had mixed feedback on a system design. No surprise because it was not a good interview. The recruiter said i had a choice to go to hiring committee, give referrals they could call about my system design or take another system design interview. I’m not confident about the system design because of the bad experience I had with the previous interviewer. What should I do?

I only recently landed something after 9 months, but what helped me was freelancing (was able to find some short term contracts), joining various communities, trying to take classes/upskill, and only applying on certain days. I would take a lot of breaks whenever I started getting burnt out. I also tried to set up chats with people whenever I could.
in calgary, canada it seems networking locally is preferred. my friend got his job with linkedin premium using inmail and shortlisting very carefully people in that team( you dont get much credits to use inmail every month) and getting them to meet over coffee and then talking in general about the company before skillfully sliding in the job post topic and asking for an interview.
Totally get what you're saying about spending more time applying than actually improving your skills. I honestly went through the same phase - endless rejection emails, just starts messing with your confidence after a while.
Something that helped me was switching up the application routine. Instead of blasting out generic resumes everywhere, I started tailoring each one for the specific role. I know it sounds like more work (and honestly, sometimes it is) but even little edits - matching keywords from the job posting, or tweaking bullet points to hit their must-haves - made a difference.
Also, I ran my resume through a couple of different ATS scanners like Resume Worded, MyPerfectResume, and ResumeJudge to see how well it matched the jobs I wanted. It took a bit of pressure off since I could actually see what was missing and fix it. That way, I felt like I was making progress instead of just throwing my applications into a black hole.
Have you tried that? Sometimes just seeing your score gives you a small confidence boost, honestly.
Curious - what kind of tech roles are you applying to? I found that changing up my approach totally changed my results for product manager positions, but engineering jobs felt like a different game.
