Brutal OP.

I have a very similar experience, currently looking.

I put most of my issue down to over hr'ing the hiring process. Too many rounds, too much obsession with perfect skill fit over hiring talented tech record. It's turning into Gattaca.

Just make sure you save a lot when you are working.

Ya I agree about the over-HR'ing of things (everything in general). And sadly it's just just skills we're being measured on these days (just like Gattaca).

Save as much as you can, invest, and have a side-hustle (even if it's a small one). Maintain a good circle of friends and acquaintances. Spay and neuter your pets. [Other good advice.]

But yea, this blows.
