    Then you go out and during interviews it really feels like they are not trying to find reasons why you would fit the job, but rather try to find things that disqualify you.
    Or how you are not experienced enough or we found someone more experienced when it's for a fucking junior position with 0 years of experience.
    But the most bullshit reasons for me are when you talk to people working there and asked them why they chose this company or this role blabla. And you think yeh I agree, so during the interview you use them. And then later you get a call, yeh we did not like your answer to those questions.

I have had all the same excuses given to me for not getting a job. At least you young guys haven't yet had the experience of a Big Four global consultancy admitting they had advertised a salary above the level they intend to recruit at and then suggest they might give me an interview if I was willing to pre agree I would accept a graduate level salary with 35 years experience.

I personally think it's temporary, but the hype won't get as high as around 2021 (but who knows). There is more people on the market rn, so there is more hussle. But I'm sure it will loosen in couple of months/a year or two. If I were you I'd just keep studying, create an interesting portfolio (I did a mini JS game and people loved it), work on professional connections by going to meetups or webinars. I live in Europe and a demand for mobile devs/QAs is still high. As well as fullstack (I'm a frontend). So Kotlin is a good choice in my opinion (but it's still just an opinion - you'll have to research information a bit). Also, it looks like it's only in my area (I live abroad) and startups were very affected. In my homeland it looks quite peacful from what my friends say.
