Welcome to Job Search Strategy
This space is for the mechanics of finding work: which roles to target, how many applications is the right number, when to follow up, and how to tell a serious posting from a placeholder.
A good first post is your current situation in three lines - what you do, what you are looking for, and where you are stuck. Specific questions get specific answers.

- Track your applications somewhere you will actually look
- A job search generates far more rejection per week than most jobs do per year, and it arrives without explanation
- Cover letters matter in about a third of applications, and you usually cannot tell which third
- Networking works badly when it is framed as networking and well when it is framed as interest
- Apply one band up as well as at your level, and be honest about both
- Research pay before the first conversation, not after the offer
