Thanks - this would convert what is now a huge waste of time into a learning experience.

One possibility is that the code is just really bad. Anyway, most of what I’ve written is either private or not my property.

I think you’re overestimating my current job title. Peep the LinkedIn

I respect the grind and tbh I have basically given up actively applying, I just respond to recruiters now. At my peak ~ hour a day. The thing is, if every company has something obnoxious like 3 + interviews, and I average about 1.5 before flaming out, then I don’t really want to apply to 500 jobs and forget who I’m even interviewing with. Also, now that I have a FT non-wfh, I don’t really have the time to.

I’ve made tons of things in Django. My first experience w Python was making something in django (for actual users). I don’t feel like clogging up the internet w some post about how I made something in django, but if that’s what it takes then maybe? It just seems as much like garbage-self promotion as posting a pic on Instagram or something. Anyway, with me I don’t think experience is the problem. As silly as it seems, I think I just come off as dumb due to my voice, face, etc.

Thank you, I’m adding my LinkedIn to original post since I can’t figure out how to DM

Am I the only person who can’t get a job?

~5 years Python, STEM non-cs degree that all recruiters tell me is “amazing.” For this reason (?) get interviews, 0/ many. People seem to like me at my current shitty job, and management likes that I am a good little slave. But people don’t ever take me seriously - always peg me as “long hair, don’t care.”This is a cry for help, feel free to give advice, a job interview or just commiserate if...
