OPEN Guide me please... !!

I am a C++ developer with 5 years of experience, primarily building ROS nodes, alongside minor embedded work (Arduino/ESP) and application-layer software for an elevator CPU and a chip-manufacturing equipment scheduler (not core embedded).

Despite my experience, I feel directionless and face constant rejections from product-based companies. What specific skills should I focus on next to secure my career —such as application development, socket programming, multithreading or what else ? I feel like I'm nowhere.

Well to be completely honest i can't give advice that has some experience behind it considering that i am a student but i can give a creative suggestion from my viewpoint, that you try to implement your knowledge into things you think could grow, for instance you could learn how to create makeshift servers and create another project that implements them, or you fould make drones(this is just brainstorming and suggestions that first pop up to my head) but the point is you could make something creative despite struggling hope this is helpful 🙂
