Edit: This post is focused on finding others who have had a ton of success getting deep into interviews but no offer. I'm curious if anyone can best my stats. The reason why I'm struggling is 2 fold. One is my field and vertical experience are horribly oversaturated due to layoffs. I've tried to pivot but adjacent roles are facing the same issue. The other issue is, I'm transgender and if you do a background check on me or look me up, you'll find that out. At least 1/3 of the hiring decisions are because of that according to recent studies.

Full disclosure: I’m not posting this to ask for advice. I’m curious whether anyone else has gone through a similar number of interviews and rounds without landing a job.

I was laid off 11 months ago. Before that, I’d spent six years at a company and had been interviewing for about a year before landing my next role.…
