I haven't heard back from a recruiter after five rounds of interviews at my dream agency. I've followed up with them twice, but there has been no response. Meanwhile, I've been actively applying to other jobs in NYC but haven't received any interview offers. I don’t know what else to do. It’s demoralizing cause I know I’m not a bad creative. If you know of any CD or ACD openings, let’s chat. I’m also open to relocating—anything to keep growing professionally.

Honestly feel like the less you try and more in demand you feel, the more they try to snag you. But maybe that’s a misconception. When I’m happily working I get reached out to, when I’m looking for work crickets

Hi Guys,

I am a ReactJS developer (frontend) with 3.8 years of experience. I currently switched my company but they don't have an opening for ReactJS and kept me on a bench for 3 months and they are telling me now to learn AEM technology and work on the AEM project for now.
They hired me for a package of 16 LPA.
So my questions are is it a good technology to learn? Should I say yes and have a career in it?
Will I get the same package like ReactJS or less? What is future if compared with React?
