Career feels stuck and I feel overwhelmed
I graduated with a B.Des degree in 2025, got placed at a startup company which had a decent package in its JD, now it's been more than a year and a 6 month internship has prolonged to 1.5 years, although my job role changed from intern to UX Designer, I still get paid mere penny and I still have to live off my parents. I tried applying for 150+ jobs now, most of them ghosted, many rejected. I tried going for masters but my entrance exam score wasn't good enough. I might... might get in a college but not entirely sure.
Im still applying for jobs, I tried UX Designer, Product Designer, Conversation Designer and even Assistant Product Manager cause I gained some exp from my current job.
I'm extremely overwhelmed, I don't understand what I'm doing wrong, how is it that the peers graduated with me got jobs, and even after 1.5 years I still can't match them.
