My wife was searching for 2.5 years. She had as many as 11 interviews for a single role without landing a job - "internal hire, sorry" being the common response (wtf...) and in the end it was a previous manager knowing someone else they'd both worked with years prior was looking for someone with her skillset - she had to interview as a formality, but was effectively offered the job before any of the interviews. The process is brutal. We're just sheep lined up for slaughter being "allowed" to keep a job as long as a few people are making multiple millions off our efforts... soon as that gets a little too low and they're not sure they can survive on a mere 7 figures annually, boom; lots of folks lose jobs.
yay "capitalism"
Hopefully you find something soon.
