If I don't get job until next month, I will go back to my parents' house

Well that's it folks, I decided. After applying so many jobs in the past one month, and I only passed one for an interview (after an SQL test), I decided that I should conserve my money by going back to my parent's house next month if I couldn't get any job confirmation until the second half of September. I calculated that when it comes to the worst, I could use my lifetime saving to survive for 30 months, but if I live with my parents, I could survive for 42 months. All that money goes into a mortgage which is being leased for a tenant at the moment. One of the biggest decision of my life. I didn't want to buy that property but my parents forced me to pay that apartment since they happened to win a "door prize" of a mercedes benz, and they swapped it with cash money so they could have pay reduction for that apartment. The value has increased on paper, but it really ties me down. I feel losing a freedom ever since.

Anyway, the job hunting is still going. The only relief that I could find at the moment is when I feel I learn something from online courses I am currently taking.

at best you have 2-3 years to find a job. you probably will find one earlier i hope . these times is hard but my friend also got another job 2 weeks ago when he thought he wouldn’t get one anytime soon.

@ShonenJump Thing is, your friend may have lucked the hell out. At my current job, I asked a co-worker who has since left as far as I can tell about the weird process of how there was no interview, we were just told an orientation date and hired immediately. No drug test or anything (not that I do those, of course!). He told me that, apparently, a few weeks before he was hired (which was a week or two before I was aboard), a bunch of people apparently up and quit or something. Considering where I was and how little I was making there, I feel like I got lightning in a bottle.

All I'm hoping for now is that things hopefully return to normal by the end of the 2020-2021 winter season, and that I'll have enough money saved up to move to a state not so corrupt and with more opportunities than where I'm at right now.
 
@Silent_Gunner yep very lucky, he got approached by people on linkedin. he then had a screening interview via skype. then few weeks later got hired as an IT engineer. here hoping luck is on your side too so goodluck!

graduated in December of 2019 with a 3.95 GPA in computer science. 600+ applications later and 9+ months, nothing. all interviews dried up in march.
 
@omgcat I am so sorry to hear about your situation . It's definitely not your fault. The market is just very bad at the moment.
