I keep trying to apply for jobs. I’m either under qualified because they end up moving on with other candidates (no interview) or over qualified (I interview and they said they want someone more junior). Smh I am so frustrated.

Your frustration is understandable, it has been a historically difficult and unusual job market for at least the last year. Don't be too hard on yourself, it's happening to lots of people. There's probably justification for optimism that things will change. The Fed's rate cut won't kickstart things overnight, but it's a sign that things may be pivoting in the right direction. Hang in, you'll find something.

You will be there! Just do not stop believing yourself!!
