32M, Tessin, Italian mother tongue, master in CS, C1 English, B1 German. In the last 3 years I sent up to 600 application with different reviewed CV, different cover letters, different contents, different channels, spontaneous applications, attempts to networking, everything. Every steps has been tried. Outcome: roughly 15 interviews, out of 6 technical one, out of 3 gave me a job. Now, the situation in my current company became unacceptable: I’m on a sick leave given by the psychiatrist, several people has been fired, teams have been literally randomly rearranged, no salary increase, no proposition for the future. Unfortunately, after 5 years here, I decided that probably I have to give up. As soon as I’ll (because even though it won’t happen I can’t stay here anymore) be fired, I’ll receive the unemployment coverage and, as soon as it ends up, Switzerland will order me to leave the country. I even tried to apply for easy jobs, such as like working at the supermarket, applying at SBB for other roles: failed. I’m done, I’ve spent the last 15 years of my life into software, used to love it, use to study it, to produce solutions, but this is the outcome. I have no energy, nor vision. I’m sorry to write those things down, but that’s it and I’ve accepted it: I’ve failed. submitted by /u/Reasonable-Signal-59
