Is anyone else feeling massive social exhaustion from the networking grind? Messaging a stranger on LinkedIn for a referral feels like being a door-to-door salesman for my own existence. I hate that the market has evolved to a point where applying is the least effective way to get a job and we have to rely on these weird social engineering tactics.

It's the new digital homeless, hanging out on the streets of LinkedIn begging for a favor.

Networking can be exhausting, especially when applying feels less effective. Focusing on technical interview prep with resources like PracHub might help you feel more prepared and confident when the interviews do come.
