Lookback: 2 years after college

Mid-level job search feels harder than entry level

Applying everywhere, but struggling to break in due to market state and high competition

What I wish I knew
"Entry level was easier due to lack of specialization requirements"
If I could tell you one thing
"Network and tailor applications to specific roles and companies"
