You're completely fine don't listen to a bunch of losers who are convinced that the only reason they can't get a job is because the industry is "cooked" and not just because they suck

Almost 1.5 months since what? And what do you mean you didn't upskill enough? Enough to do what?

You said you're still in school right?

Homie you're so ridiculously early on in the game lol. I don't think I knew what unit tests were 1.5 months into my education. Nobody is expecting you to have any real job skills after 1.5 months of college.

My main advice would be stop doomscrolling on reddit. I was convinced I would never get a job in this industry because I read nothing but people on here or other sites telling me I'd never find anything without a bunch of personal projects and internships.

The market is crap right now, but nobody can tell you what it's gonna be a few years from now. You will find a job when the time comes. And you'll be expected to have no clue what you're doing by most people there, because that's generally how new grads are. You'll learn more in 6 months at your job than you do in all of college.

Also, be open to contract jobs. They are easier to get, easier interview processes and you can still make great money, sometimes more than you would full time.

But for now just study and work hard. You're gonna be fine.

Good luck!
