Find and fund a hobby, something else that drives you. You'll need that job to pay for it. But really though, just show up to the interviews, sometimes you're a shoo-in and don't know it.

Yup, doing that. Accepted another interview (second) - it's a take home assignment first - "minor" angel round startup. The project is, not 98% or 99.7%, but 100% the exact product they are pitching which is shady. I am still planning to work on it though, but it may not work out because I am pretty sure I wouldn't hand over the source to them just like that. Anyway, let's see. Thank you.
