I was laid off from my role as a DevOps Software Engineer, and I have till August 31st to find a job. It's so frustrating and scary to apply to so many jobs and to see over 200+ applicants for each like it's so discouraging. I'm looking for any entry-level positions and maybe considering internships since I'm short of time.. D:

Take that 200+ applicants number with a grain of salt. That’s only a reflection of the number of people who click apply on the LinkedIn job post. There is a fair percentage of people who don’t actually fill out or send their application through the hiring company’s website.

and a majority of those unqualified.

Don't forget to reach out to consulting firms such as Robert Half, Tek, Motion Recruitment, Insight Global, etc. They'll shop you around.

Well, good luck to you

A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out?
