Agree with this though it's brutal. Op needs to look inward. But I will add that there are external factors as well. The last 10-15 years in this industry have been an absolute cakewalk. I came to this conclusion even as a junior engineer who entered the workforce around 2015. I remember getting my entry level salary and thinking there's no way this goes on forever. Everyone was hiring people that can't do basic shit and giving them six figure salaries. When the gravy train is rolling it's really hard to not get complacent. I think we all did a little bit, and now the gravy train is over. This is how every other industry is. You don't get paid much for middling skills, job searches take a while, etc. This is how it's going to be. Just like all the others, this'll be a k shaped recession.
