(1) Stop applying to the "popular" companies. (2) Stop quitting something every time it becomes hard. (3) Stop thinking you've paid your dues and deserve more already. So take a deep breath, reset your expectations some, and humbly jump in at a less glamorous company and stay there for a couple of years. Long term you can still live the dream or whatever, but it sounds like you're trying to skip over some really important learning/experience stages (a good tech career involves far more than some tech expertise).
