Honestly does anyone else just feel kind of hopeless about the job market? I graduated in May 2023 with a MS in Statistics and have a BS in Math. I just passed the one year anniversary of my graduation and am at about 1,400 job applications, and it really feels essentially impossible just to even get noticed.

From those applications, I've only gotten a handful of initial recruiter calls or preliminary coding tests, and only been through the interview process for Data Scientist roles at two companies. Each of which are extremely well-known and well-respected companies, and I made it through 5+ rounds of interviews at each company. I got exceptional feedback, saying that I was a perfect cultural fit at each and did great in the interviews, as well as had interviewers tell me how impressive my personal projects were. One of those companies even flew me across the country to their headquarters for the final interview to meet the team. Ultimately though I was told I was the second choice for the role at each company.

I feel like I've taken all the general advice and done everything that you're supposed to. I've done personal projects to make up for being a fresh grad, I've networked, I've fine-tuned my resume to satisfy ATS bots, etc. I've had multiple high-level DS managers that I know through networking or being hiring managers I interviewed with tell me my resume looks great and that I would have no trouble getting a job in data science if it weren't for the current job market.

I also apply to essentially any job quasi related to DS or Statistics; Data scientist, data analyst, BI analyst, statistician, decision scientist, any kind of \_\_\_\_\_ analyst, etc. I'm also in the US and have no visa-based restrictions. Meanwhile I seem to see people all the time from non-stem backgrounds doing online data science "boot camps" and getting jobs right away.

I guess this is more of a way to vent than anything, but damn, is anyone else in a similar situation? Has anyone gone through this and finally gotten a job at the end? Will the market ever improve or should I just go be a math teacher...
