For some reason I thought this would broaden my options however, the startup I was working for went under in early 2023. I've been getting by on contracting work for a friend's startup however it's just not enough.
I've made it to the final round of three TPM interviews but none converted.
Feels like I'm starting to lose hope, considering just driving a UPS truck or getting an electricians license. To call this a low point is an under statement.
Curious if anyone here has advice?
I suspect you may be surprised by what's actually involved in that. Some locations it may not be a big deal, others it really is.
And have you tried programming gigs (including remote)? Or it does absolutely have to be TPM or UPS?
