I suggest switching to consultancy/freelance work. The interview process nowadays in Europe is just a time waster. Before switching to consultancy, I've wasted almost half a year applying to various jobs. Multiple rounds of interviews, coding challenges, specialized resumes and everything in between. Average response time from recruiters was 2 days to 1 week. Took me less than two weeks to get my first client as an independent contractor on a highly competitive freelance platform. Also, don't hesitate to sign up with recruitment agencies. I was quite pleased with the quality of forwarded jobs from recruitment agencies.
