When should I give up Software Engineering

Hi Everyone, I'm trying for a job in bangalore for over 6 months now, was suffering from anxiety attacks so started taking medicine. People laid off way later than me have started with their new jobs and are happy yet I'm still struggling here looking for a job, they are getting hikes and I'm just looking to get hired. Is it time that I should give up engineering and pursue other domains?? Because Engineering used to excite me and how my luck has treated me and how much unnecessary problems I'm facing, I'm doubting if I should give up now. I want to know the honest opinion. I ve been upskilling and coding , but not getting any interview https://drive.google.com/file/d/17QsEHqFySTsYyu7ML_sNpykeWuHNFsPk/view?usp=sharing my resume

You're probably getting rejected because you joined a new company in February.

Which is better having a gap on resume or joining a service based company and having content on it?

Do you have the privilege to stay unemployed & keep looking for a job in PBC?

top 100 interview leet code is must solve before you start giving interviews , same goes for language basics and little bit of system design. As 1 year experience guy, these are expected.

Not lying, Few interviews were because of DSA , so improved over that. Then 1-2 , I fumbled. Many I said the correct things, wrote the correct working code. But still got rejected in the end. I improve continousuly, make projects and code on a daily basis but this last part is the one which I'm not able to understand

My hopes goes with you bro. You will soon get a nice job. My suggestion from my very little exp dont go for big tech just try startups. Dont go on building projects its not gona help much from what ive learned. Also just use linkedin as much u could . Things will eventually workout focus more on dsa if possible.

The market is tough right now . Sometimes it is just a matter of getting the right opportunity and luck is involved. That being said I think your resume does not inspire a lot of confidence at the first glance . I would suggest you spend sometime working on your resume. Skills section ========== Languages you have written c++ I am not sure which of these projects who have worked on use this. The most comfortable language you are in should be given first. The latest project uses reactjs library but there is no mention of it in languages section. Remove sql from languages unless you are applying for DB admin position. Reactjs is mentioned in projects but missing in frameworks section. Projects ====== Projects please add languages and tools used. Second project at PharmEasy I have no idea what languages and tools you have used. The language used to describe work in projects looks like copy and paste . Wording could be better. You should write it in such a way that it looks like you have done a lot of work Look for keywords that companies are looking for the position you are targeting and include them in your resume. Your resume is the first thing they see so you need to make sure your resume is good. All the best 👍
