Edit: I have a really hard time understanding OP's questions, so here's an AI summary:

- Struggles to land a job despite being a programmer with a formal CS degree.

- Faced challenges with relocation and salary discrepancies, especially compared to male candidates.

- Difficulty securing a job due to gap between education and career entry.

- Feels stuck in a learning loop, lacking confidence and struggling with technical problem-solving.

- Seeks advice on how to land a job, improve learning process, or consider alternative career paths.
