Congrats on the successful side project. That is its own feat, so take kudos where kudos is due in a world where 90% of startups fail.

I'll be honest. Go sign up for Oxfam or Peace Corps, teach ESL somewhere, volunteer. There's even Peace Corps Response, which are short term stints that are better suited for professionals. Go help people with your time and money if you've got it. You'll learn a lot and it's a great stepping stone into many exciting future career paths you may not have considered. You'll probably become a better entrepreneur too.

But if you're looking to work at one of the FAANGs or a hot startup, usually networking is the best path forward. I always recommend the 2 Hour Job Search. It has a great methodology to find jobs that still works, even in this economy. The sad truth is that the vast majority of job opportunities are not posted, so go work on your social capital.
