Your job isn't your worth or your life. So balance searching with your mental health. If a particular position has burned out two people already you don't want it unless the money is good enough.
I'd also caution you to be defensive with your time, it takes employers five seconds to send you a test or battery of tests that will take five hours to do, don't sink an unreasonable amount of time into one or ask for a meeting to get to know the team before committing too much effort - most serious offers will be amenable to that while H1-B fakeouts or "We have an internal candidate in mind" will stone wall you. The job market fucking sucks both because employers are lazy bitches and because the chatgpt resume spam is real - when hiring for a devops our company had hundreds of applications and like three real candidates.
I wish you the best of luck!
