39M, Applied to more than 1500 jobs since 2024. Unable to secure a job. My background is in Engineering, Physics, Interactive Art, and Cybersecurity (on-going). The peak salary I got from 2020-2023 is for a developer role which honestly isn’t my strong suit. Just got lucky. I’m struggling with chronic depression and being home bound since the pandemic. Do you guys have any suggestions/recommendations for jobs in LA area? I have multiple above average skills which I feel has become a bane instead of a boon. Also I feel I’m borderline ADHD (undiagnosed). Have 2 master degrees and currently enrolled into a third one. to prevent myself from going crazy.
Edit: Lost 120k$ in stocks over the last 3 years. Which family doesn’t know. Living with a wife who works and a dog. Feels terrible to lose potential by not doing anything worthwhile with my life.
