First few months I did pretty bad on all my interviews but now I'm starting to do really good on almost every single one. Still haven't got a single offer yet though. I think I still have like 5 months left of unemployment benefits though so I'll be fine probably.

Finally got an ass-tier HVAC job through a friend after being jobless for a year and a half after graduating. I install thermostats in elementary schools, but technically my job title is still 6"controls engineer." $62k a year in Seattle, so the pay isn't very good either. I really regret studying mechanical engineering.

I had a really great interview for a 70k starting salary. Second interview in a week, but my GPA is 2.1 so I don’t know if I’ll get it. Job is comfy as fuck, it’s in a really overlooked field and I’d spend a lot of my time outdoors and travelling but no manual labour involved. Salary tops out at 120k though so I don’t know how long I’d want to stay in the job for.

Pretty shitty.
Got a good resume.

Get called for interviews.

Few places I went for got hiring freeze.

Can get a job north, but fuck winter.

Expat in Asia, online work went bad.

Crypto arbitrage went bad, scammed of 6k. Bank says crypto is money laundering, disagree - accounts frozen.

Luckily have multiple accounts.

Need to write hostile letters and FedEx because it's a Stonewall to call or go into a branch.

I fucking have to fly back to the USA to write angry letters and cc the CFTC, FDIC state sinurance board and misc bank regulatory agency that selling crypto for profit is not a money laundering scheme.
