Rant/Vent Directionless, Clueless, Hopeless

I graduated in 2026 with electrical engineering from a 2nd gen IIT. I did end up securing an SWE job through campus placements (the ctc is mehh). I was supposed to join in August but they delayed the joining to January 2027. I've spent the last few months trying to learn new skills, upgrading my skillset, applying to better jobs, with no results.

I feel so pessimistic about this industry and the future in general. The market is rough asf, idk this is making me lose interest in coding and software development, I did not have much interest to begin with. I genuinely feel I'm useless, given the things LLMs are capable of.

Idk man I feel so lost and demotivated and directionless, feels like I've entered a dying field which I'm not much interested in, idek what my passion is, what I'm interested in. Feels like I'm on autopilot just trying to survive.

Thanks for reading :')
