In the last 3 months, I've managed to get 2 interviews and the last one ghosted me. It's still pretty bad for some of us.

I can attest to this. People want workers with way too much experience, paying way too little money, and that's on top of moving to a location that doesn't make any sense. Some of the jobs I've seen here required me to move to a city where the rent is double what the salary would have been

No, I don't work with recruitment agencies anymore. Only ever had bad experiences with them earlier in my career, so these days, I apply for positions directly.
