People, especially men, tend to be so self-centric, that they cannot make decisions objectively.
For example if there's jobs opportunities you'd like to pursue, think about what they need and build your skills. Just give people a proper reason to hire you, to promote you, to use your product. This is actually harder than it sounds. You may find that your own expectations does not align with others.
I wish I knew this when I was fresh out of collage. Maybe you are just better in this than me. I was more of a dumb stubborn type of young man lmao.
If you’re worried about the job competition impact, I would suggest focusing on your in-person/on-site achievements when building your resume.
