SV has, literally, hundreds (maybe thousands) of companies searching for thousands of engineers on any given day. How many companies have you applied to? Frankly, you don't need to be a rockstar or a ninja or whatever today's funny super title is. You have experience and an education, you'll get a job.

The reason I ask how many companies you have applied to is because finding a good job is a numbers game. Often I see engineers who do something along the lines of applying to a single company for the "perfect position for them", waiting to hear from the company, and then feeling dejected when a rejection comes and they have to find the next perfect position. I always say, apply to 25 jobs as quickly as possible. Then come back and tell me that they all rejected you.

Good luck! It will work out soon enough!
