So in retrospect your best option would have been accepting that job. From there you would have had a way easier time getting a better opportunity. Don't let another opportunity like that pass by.

Another thing I'd recommend is to start a project and publish it by yourself while you are looking for a job. You can then claim that you've been working on it for some time, that's a valid working experience, successfully or not

Thank you for commenting. I am thinking about creating an automated scraping and then storing result in Google sheets. Something along the lines... But I feel like I don't know how to do it. I guess I just have a fear of failure. I work better in a guided environment and by guided, I mean for only one single practice or project, I just needed someone to guide me through the stuff.

But you're right, I really need to do it myself. Nobody can help me but me.

Why don’t you try to use chatGPT to help you? Ask it how you can start with your idea and keep iterating your questions until it gives you a good way for you to start..
I did actually. Not the code but how to proceed. As in a senior might guide a junior developer at job. But it forgets what we were doing within 24 hours because I am using Snapchat's AI (which is ChatGPT)
