问HN：无法找到工作——接下来该怎么办？
嘿，HN，
我觉得我在二十多岁的大部分时间里都在努力成为一名专业的软件工程师，并创办了两家公司，结果却感觉像是在浪费时间。幸运的是，我有一些钱作为回报，也学到了很多东西，但现在看来，我实际上是无法就业的，或者说我的技能已经不再符合市场的需求。
与人工智能一起构建东西是令人惊叹的，但当我参加面试时，我发现自己根本无法通过技术筛选。我曾幸运地获得过几个“前线部署”的职位，但不知为何，最终轮面试后从未收到回音。
我真的很喜欢软件开发，但我需要真正找到一份能让我赚到超过15万美元年薪的职业。考虑到我花了这么多时间和金钱成为一名工程师，却似乎都白费了，我有点慌了。已经过去四个月了，前景似乎不再像以前那样光明。
另外，我对996的创业文化完全没有兴趣。作为一名Z世代的人，我实在无法理解，为什么在美国要找到一份能赚到体面薪水并且每周工作50小时的软件工作变得如此困难。
我很想听听建议，或者看看是否有人成功跳出科技行业。我担心如果不尽快找到出路，我的心理健康和稳定性会受到影响。我完全不知道接下来想要去哪里，甚至申请销售职位也没有什么进展。
我在法学院有不错的人脉，但花20万美元去赌法律在人工智能时代是否仍然是一个可行的职业，似乎比我在20多岁时做出的决定还要糟糕。
谢谢。

Hey HN,<p>I feel like I've wasted the better part of my twenties trying to be a professional software engineer and founding two companies. Fortunately I have some money to show for it and I learned a lot, but at this point it seems I'm functionally unemployable / have skills that just don't make the cut anymore.<p>Building with AI is incredible, but when I get interviews I just flat out can't pass tech screens anymore. I've gotten lucky with a few "forward deployed" roles but for whatever reason, never get a callback after the final round.<p>I really enjoy software, but I need to actually figure something out that's a real career (earns more than $150k per annum). I'm sort of freaking out given that all this time and money I spent to become an engineer appears to be going to waste. It's been about four months and the prospects just aren't showing up like they used to.<p>Also, I have zero interest in 996 startup culture. How on earth it became impossible as an american to get a job in software where you make a decent salary and work 50hr weeks is sort of beyond my comprehension as someone in Gen Z.<p>Curious for advice or if anyone else has made the leap outside of tech. I fear for my mental health and stability if I don't figure something out soon. I flat out just don't know where I want to go next, even applying to sales roles has fallen flat.<p>I have good contacts for law school, but the notion of burning $200k on the chance that law is still a viable career with AI seems like an even worse decision than logic I applied in my 20s.<p>Cheers.
