I have been applying via linkedin, company portal which show up on google search but somehow nothing is working out, cold dm, emails almost all eventually ending in radio silence. Not asking for some shortcut just that it all isn't making sense.

I'm in a different field, but my advice is the machine gun method. Go to indeed or wherever, and apply to anything that you're even half qualified for. I sent 10 resumes a day for 6 weeks to land my job.

It sucks, but that's what you gotta do these days. Also accept interviews for positions you have no interest in just to get the practice.

Came here to say the same thing. 5-10 applications 5 days a week a until I got an offer. It sucks.
