Job hunting from 7 months with no luck, looks like I need to more time to prep. I have interviews from FAANG and fear of failure is scaring me the most. On the other hand, everyone around me seem to be landing jobs so easily , what’s up with me? How do you deal with fear of failure?

OP, I was in your shoes a few months ago. Give it time and keep pushing. The right offer will come along. Take every “no” as a “not yet” and take comfort in the fact that maybe that job wasn’t the right one for you and you’ll end up exactly where you’re supposed to be, whenever you’re supposed to be there. And also, you are not your job so don’t let your job dictate your happiness or how successful you see yourself. There are more important things in life so cherish those when you feel down about not securing that offer yet. It’s coming, don’t worry!

Bear in mind job hunting is a full-time job itself.

Hi yes, the problem isn’t not getting interviews, it’s more with clearing them especially the tech screens
