What to do in this tech market?


I've been looking for a job for 2 years with no success, my savings are mostly depleted and I have no idea what I'm going to do when they run out

I had a good career before this, I've worked at FAANG, and at startups. I've managed teams, I've delivered great software, but none of that seems to matter – I haven't even had a first interview in months, I just get turned down or ghosted every single time.

No one in my network has reached out to ask what I'm doing now, I feel ashamed that people I know are able to get promotions, new roles, they're thriving and I'm failing.

Am I the only one in this situation? What are other people doing? I feel like the world is ending but other people seem to be handling it just fine
