You don't get it. You're not supposed to apply in the field you worked before, or that you're good at.

The whole point is use boomer advice to apply to the jobs that are out there, with the salaries that are out there.

The whole point is that the job market sucks and you don't get to choose because there's more job applicants than positions.

    I'm on the side that hires. It's ugly over here as well. We still do resumes and I screen manually - yes I actually read them because I don't even trust HR to screen forget about AI. We get 300+ resumes for an opening and every one of them is a person with a story. At the end of the process I will have one very happy person, 5 feeling they were so close, and ~290 thinking nobody read their stuff.
