This is a badge of honor that doesn't feel like one in the moment. I was in the same boat for 3 years before re-entering the job force, I felt isolated and demotivated in the 3rd year, when it was clear it was not working. Join a rocketship! Surround yourself with constructive minds. Try again in a few years, if you want. Life goes on.

Consider MainStreet! We are hiring like crazy :) https://jobs.lever.co/mainstreet

You got this next step!

Bit late on the reply, but I just featured your company on my website! Check it out here: https://nowhiteboard.org/ I'd also love feedback on if the interview process description needs to change at all for your company's listings
Thanks for the advice, joining a rocketship is what resonates the most with me to be honest.

Happiest I have been was when I was sleeping 5 hours a night maximum, always on the road visiting different customers' offices to work closely with them. Had an offer about a year ago to leave my current position and build out the data science team of a rocketship but didn't want to leave my team on their own.

That jump out of bed to work feeling alone. Of course.

The restoration of hope is infectious. We had our biggest day ever this Friday.

MainStreet looks interesting. Does your interview process involve whiteboarding?
No whiteboarding, but there are questions on architecture and your standard set of coding problems. In lieu of the whiteboard, we encourage candidates to verbally walk us through their answers/solutions, and are free to use pseudo-code to illustrate.
Hey, also replied to the parent comment, but would also love feedback on if you'd like the interview process description changed at all for Mainstreet's listing here (I used your comment as the basis for the listings): https://nowhiteboard.org/
