I thought the pressure of applying for jobs was too much in 2000 when objectively it was much easier, and just went to work in a plastic factory. After learning programming I've only applied to seven jobs in nine years, and it takes me weeks of procrastination for each one. Just like married people are all glad they don't have to deal with the dating apps today, I'd probably be unemployed again if I went back on the job market. I have endless appreciation for recruiters helping me through the friction parts, and wish there were fixers like that for everybody.
