I think you may benefit from a change of narrative. Evidence from your interviews (specifically the Vimeo interview) suggests that your potential employers have a mixed perception about your skills and experience. I certainly believe you&#x27;re capable of being a productive engineer that a company will value, but it still may take some searching to find the right fit. One of the benefits of leaning a little more on your network than using recruiter requests is that it increases the probability of finding the right job.
