Everyone I know is in a similar situation. The tech sector saw thousands of layoffs and a decrease in free money. You're competing against hordes of ex FAANG-ers for limited opportunities during a market downturn.

Half my office was laid off and anecdotally, everyone I know is having trouble finding work.

Hang in there :(

Now might be the time to reach out to your old networks and see if any of them are unofficially hiring. I sent out dozens of applications too and didn't hear back, but reached out to an old contact and they hired me on the spot.
