I've been actively on the job search for over 8 months post-layoff and can barely get interviews for software engineering positions, much less an offer, with over a decade of experience. Today, my wife said I need to take a break because she can tell what a toll it's been taking on me, and her car got totaled in an accident last week. Message received.

I'm exhausted but can't get a full night's sleep. I can't even focus on things I enjoy for their own sake that I want to do.

For the next month, the only job search focus will be on existing applications/interviews and those cases where I can actually get a referral/know someone inside a company who can vouch for me. Beyond that, I need to rest and recenter.

If you can help, please look at my CV and reach out. I need something either in San Diego or fully remote.

I feel like there's probably some hashtags or something that should help visibility, but I don't even know where to start. I'm so tired
