“ i think i’m falling I’m holding onto all I think is safe”
I am at a point where I have to find a job within the next 30 days otherwise I have to leave united states. Life has become very tough. I don’t know what I can do!!! How do I proceed?
I am a full stack engineer with 5 years of experience. My tech stack is React.js, Node.js, Express and Python. I lost my job in January 07 and everything is falling ever since. I applied literally everywhere and did not get any response at all!!!

Take a leap if Faith and go for it. Do not settle your self short. If you have 5 years of experyou are qualified. If you have to relocate with the new Kob n the pay is great go for it. You can not be scared and worry. GOD has us and he will not let you Fall if you have Faith. That means you believe in yourself as well. No apply for everything thst you qualify for and if you may not apply any damn way you never know what will happen.
BE STRONG YOU GOT THIS. STOP LOOKING AT YOUR GLASS HALF FULL AND TAKE A LEAP OF FAITH. IT NEVER IS WHAT IT SEEMS. BE POSITIVE. LETS GO!!!!!

Any remote job for react js developers?

I have been in tough spots but not yours. All you can do is continue to apply. Do not sleep, do not take breaks, apply for everything you can outside of what your trade is. If you have to leave the U.S. it is an unfortunate set back, but do not let that stop you. Continue to apply like it is your job. Make a name for yourself, have as many projects as you can on GitHub, comment on as many forums as you can. Make sure you are tailoring every resume to every position you apply. Write a training manual. Increase your network on LinkedIn. This is all basic 101 so if you are not doing it already, do it now. Take a deep breath, calm down, and good luck.

Thank you. I will follow your advice

I’m really sorry you’re in this position—it’s a tough reality. The job market can be brutal, even with solid skills like yours. Keep pushing applications, but also focus on leveraging your network. I know you're not alone in your situation and I'm truly sorry our immigration system is so messed up. Best of luck to you!

I am right there with you Brother... At one moment in time I was on top of the world. Recently received a license I needed which led me to receive a promotion. We had a "Reduction in the Workforce", and was Laid Off Indefinitely!?! Being that I was the newest in that position, but NOT by Seniority. I feel like I was somehow "SET UP". I've applied to many employers in different platforms forms much like this one and no reply. Except for, "we decided to move on with another candidate".

Honestly I did some research and dove into this. Quite frankly it hurts because if you're like me, then you drop all your knowledge, experience, skills, credentials, and certifications on your Resume. You want to shine, and get that position. From an Employer's Perspective, it's more beneficial to get a less experienced employee, and cut cost of salary payments right off the top. The one thing all companies are easily able to control is cost of salary.
c
So here while you're holding the one paddle, feeling like you're holding both. I'm in the one in the same boat as you holding the other paddle and we are both heading downstream. Metaphorically speaking, but I believe this is a test for us to test our patience. So hang in there my fellow friend and don't lose sight of your goals, and you're main objective.

Hi, I would identify the interim/fixed-terms agents/companies finding resources for corporations. Their projects are urgent and this is when they wish to hire you now and not in 2 or 3 months. Apologies if my advice does not bring you any further in case that you have done so already, but there might be more agencies out there and you only need 1 project. Good luck!

Thanks for your post.

NO PROMISES, but I am asking colleagues questions about Node.js positions as well.

Interesting that your post popped up in my Glassdoor thread email today, I have a client who has a Node.js resource and I have a TON of questions, but it should result in needing someone to assist them/me/us for maintenance, management, etc. However, I don't think we are "hiring" for a Node/Python engineer.

I actually have a question for you, as a Node.js engineer.

First, is being a Node.js and Python engineer what you want to do and love?

Second, you looking for FT/PT position or will contract do?

Hey Thank you so much for the help. Yes I do love being a node.js and python dev, however I am adaptive to other tech stack as well. I actually am looking for a FT/PT position with H1B only.

Do the best you can to stay but if you have to leave you can still find a remote job, just keep going.
