This sub is a bad place for motivation
You only ever hear about lay offs and complaints and from people who can’t get a job. I was browsing through this place when I was still pursuing my master’s degree and it was demoralizing as heck. Yes, I know the job market is bad, and I know it’s harder than ever to get hired, and the pay isn’t that good anymore, but damn, jobs are still getting posted and people are getting hired every day.
Furthermore, there is no use in constantly crying and doomposting about the current state of the industry. Nothing’s gonna change. All we can do is focus on ourselves and try to do what we can with what we have. There are plenty of successful people out there, and success is still possible.
The only advice you’ll find here is people either telling you to pursue something else or keep doing the same thing but on a larger scale. There are good contributors but they sadly are a minority compared to the depressing individuals who will tell you there is no hope to improve your situation.
