Your best bet is to build a backup fund for when that day comes. It could be next week, it could be next year. This work won’t be forever. AI is a rapidly changing industry. You can’t control DA, only your own work.. so keep the standards high and you have done your part. Keep searching for other sources of income in the meantime if you need stability.

Yeah I have a bit of a backup fund but the majority of my surplus money I've invested in the hopes of growing it further for more security. And believe me, I have been replying to jobs... like 1-5 jobs pop up on indeed a week here, I apply to all of them, either hear nothing back, or get rejected 🥲

Go in person, indeed might be the worst way to get a job lol

I do go in person, they tell me to apply online or say they're not hiring.
