"I got rejected by both Facebook and Google this week after 1st round and it has been quite a downer on my confidence" I'm self-employed now, but when I was looking for jobs, I was rejected multiple times (before finally finding a job). I tried to learn as much as I could from the situation and I moved onto the next interview. Sometimes, it's just not a good fit or they were looking for someone with a different skill set. All of these successful people that are 5 years younger than you probably got rejected multiple times before getting a job. They will never tell you this and you only see the success. It reminds me of many photographers' portfolios: You might see 100 beautiful, perfect, pictures. But, you don't see the 1000 terrible shots it took to get them. "It has been at least a month I have been looking for new job but still nothing." Try to get busy with something. Work on an open source project while you are looking. I'm not sure why, but I've always found my best jobs while I wasn't thinking about getting a job all the time. It might have to do with subtle signs or body language...or maybe I'm just more comfortable. "So far life has been really really brutal for me" Welcome to life. It sucks..but you sound like you are on the right path. "dating" Dating will always be tough. I dated around for 5 years before finding my wife. I have found that it's very similar to finding a job: When I'm not concentrating on looking for a date, I end up finding one. My wife and I met through a meetup group. It had nothing to do with dating, just a mutual interest.
