Hi all,

I'm a full-stack engineer with 2 YOE, and today marks a year since I started looking for a new job. I think I'm a good engineer and always trying to improve, but for some reason I can't seem to get interviews and I need your advice.

Here are few things to consider:

• I'm from the Middle East and don't want to work here (Not a good place for engineers), so I will definetly need a Visa, and I don't think smaller companies can sponsor visas.
• So far I mostly applied at FAANG companies. Only heared back twice; Failed Amazon onsite, and ghosted while scheduling my team matching at Google.
• I rarely apply through LinkedIn, I usually tend to apply through the company's career page.
• I don't know many people outside the Middle East to even ask for referrals.
• Even though I' worked as full-stack for two years, I'm looking for a backend role.

And thanks to anyone who can help🙏
