Agree. Things are very unstable and undergoing significant change. I don't think anything will coalesce until after November 2024 at the earliest. Even still, plan for long term uncertainty.

1) stay hopeful and positive, and preserve existing relationships. 2) expand your social network by attending free in-person clubs, events, etc. this is where you'll find your job. anything where people gather repeatedly over time, so you can make real connections. 3) lower financial expectations and take any job. cash flow is important in times like this.

Keep looking online also, but I suspect you'll find your next opportunity through old fashioned in-person networking.

It may not seem like it, but skilled developers really are hard to find. You want to be that lucky break for someone.
