Should I give up?
I am a Computer Engineering graduate. I am 2 years removed from school and more than 3000 applications into my job search. I have been living with my parents taking whatever gig work/unpaid jobs I can take to improve my skills. It has been apparent that I am now a burden on them and they want me out. I recently had my first technical interview, but I am pretty sure I blew it. I was so focused on learning that I didn’t memorize definitions and names of thing so my explanation of concepts were overly reliant on examples. Other times I was just flat out wrong. I am incredibly disappointed in myself and am feeling kind of lost. There’s no way I can do another 3000 applications and 2 years of waiting for just another shot at maybe landing a job. What should I do? I spent my whole life committed to becoming an engineer and I don’t know what else I could possibly do. Any suggestions?
