You're doing it right. Don't desperate, mate. Most companies are permanently understaffed but management and hr drag their feet as much as they can, and then it's all a rush. So at the end it's a lottery. It sounds like you have quite the portfolio too so put it onto as many faces as you can and the calls and mails will come (and the spam! Use an alias, or a specific address unless you trust they're not gonna sell it). You've got this.

I don't know if reddit is the best place for job hunting, you might get better luck on LinkedIn most likely, but I'd personally try everything if I were in a dire situation.
Just a couple questions, how long have you been job hunting? How many applications have you put out? In a post in that sub someone is complaining about not getting any answer after '50 applications in a month', another one is already in despair after '4 days'... don't get me wrong, I know how soul crushing job hunting is but it is a numbers game you can't throw the towel after four bloody days ffs! 50 applications is just a good Tuesday, I've got calls more than a year after applying for a position...
Another question you should ask yourself is whether you are an expat or a migrant. Main difference between these is that migrants usually don't see driving an Uber, laying bricks or serving tables as below them.
Anyway best of lucks and welcome to this side of the pond!
Ps: Oh! Also: wages! Their not American wages, CoL is lower but not by that much (some things like electronics, cars, gas.. are in fact more expensive). A waiter in America (specially CA, I think I've read your from LA) makes more than most engineers here in Europe.
So let me get this straight.. telling people who are struggling financially and can barely make ends meet 'No you aren't! You're just too stupid and uncultured to understand these numbers!' doesn't get you their vote and even can make them vote for the other guy!? Who would have thunk!
So the bad guys here are the ones preventing others to use their research... right?
I don't think anyone is asking for perfection just basic human decency, but I guess that's like asking for a thousand talking unicorns in politics.
Yes just a pinch, only if necessary. The second one says 'no sugar added' so it might as well be the sugars from all the ingredients.
This is good advice. And also carrots.
It's pretty common to add a bit of sugar to tomato sauce tho.
Don't be fooled, taxes are just a way to extract the fruit of the poor folks' labor and give it to the rich and powerful. Always have been, since their inception. Not just in America, here in the (highly idealized by lemmy) EU I cost my company 3200β¬ a month, 1850β¬ go to my bank account and 1350β¬ to the government, plus up to a 21% vat from the things I purchase. Amazon pays literally 0β¬ in taxes.
I always thought that about Jessica Fletcher. Too many people dying around that woman.

I use Fedora and sometimes Debian (Debian is love! πβ€οΈ), and brew my coffee in a moka pot.
