Hi, I'm a Full Stack Engineer with 4 years of experience also worked in production Fintech environment and systems like accounting, invoicing, finance operations with banks. Been unemployed for 5 months now. Nothing is working. LinkedIn jobs? Dead. Glassdoor? Seems like social circle for unemployed. Cold emails? No response.

Skills don't work anymore. I've had offers in the past say 1 year ago but now I'm even ready to settle for less.
I'm also open to jobs than come under the subset of Full Stack Engineer like QA Engineer, and others like that. Also expanding my skills towards being an ML/AI Engineer.

How do i start any type of freelancing work as a beginner. My portfolio has a very few projects. What does it take to succeed as a beginner especially in the current AI age scenario.
