This is perhaps a bit too much of a 'thinking outside the box' suggestion, and please don't take this the wrong way, but have you tried reading resources for post-surgical detransitioners, such as the r/detrans subreddit? Doing so might help you rethink your desire for surgery, potentially saving you $100k or so and avoiding all of the health risks and complications involved.

Alternatively maybe keep in mind that there are many high-profile people of gender who haven't had any of the surgeries and seem to be getting on just fine.

Hope this helps and best of luck in your job search.

detrans is a transphobic subreddit. actual_detrans seems to be the real legit subreddit. Even though the above account is new, just a warning that HN has lots of transphobes.
Both are legit subreddits and neither are transphobic, the main difference is that in r/detrans allows detransitioners to express much more honest and open criticism of transition, and how they got to that point, than r/actual_detrans does.
