I have been actively looking for a job Since August 2020. I am unemployed. I am looking for Entry Level Generalist SWE or ML Engineer positions. I have been on Leetcode every single day. I'm also practising mock interviews. I didn't get a single offer so far. I started to think maybe I should forget about CS.
