I think the recruiter that reached out to me a few days ago ditched me for being too picky but he only sent me 2 jobs and 1 was not an appealing commute and the other was not what I was looking for. Feelin sad.

90% of recruiters are like that. They have one or two positions which they try to force onto candidates for the quick and easy payout. If you say no, they move on.

Most are trash. You can and you should engage a few recruiters at the same time and hope one is a good one who will actually try to find a job that fits your wants. The fact that this person only had two positions they’re looking for solidifies that they’re one of those trash recruiters (they don’t gave company clienteles looking for repeat services).

Apply yourself. You'll get paid more and won't deal with the headache of recruiters who are incentivized to place candidates that are fine with crappy jobs.

They might not know of any suitable positions yet. But not all recruiters are great at their job either…I had one who was very condescending about me not having a CPA, and he didn’t even read my resume! On his follow up email where he reluctantly sent me a job I told him I was actually suitable for, he called me Mike. Mike is his name!! I’m a girl…

Finding the right job takes time and the right recruiter will take the time to help you. Don't feel bad for "being picky"- try again with them and maybe try to connect with another recruiter to see how it works out with someone else.
