    So insane when i read these. I feel for y’all, that would really suck to apply that much. You could try moving to a smaller city?. Ive been hired at every job ive applied to, and I’m not even a programmer or crazy smart engineer type. And now I make almost as much as those folks. Its either dumb luck or I just give off good first impressions. And no, it has nothing to do with family, they’re crazy people and I’m mostly cut off from them.

    If I had to apply now though, I bet I’d have a harder time because of tech bs and I’m old.

    Ive only lived in cities under 200k people.

      I think a person without a job can’t often afford to move to a different city. Moving within the same city is already expensive. Moving to a different city costs something like $10k, and then a lot of places won’t rent to you unless you can provide proof of employment/income.
