THIS JOB HUNT IS BREAKING ME | And Even California Can’t Fix It (Though It Tries) – Dari Step x Lingopie

It’s been six weeks since Dari packed up her life and moved to California in search of something new – but the job market had other plans. In her latest vlog, she shares the raw, unfiltered reality of job hunting in the US as a newcomer, and the mental toll it’s taking.

From endless rejections to the creeping doubt of “Did I make a huge mistake?”, Dari opens up about the emotional rollercoaster of starting over. But amid the burnout, California keeps trying to lift her up – with coastal escapes, moments of stillness, and small joys that remind her why she took the leap in the first place.

This isn’t a success story (yet), but it’s honest, relatable, and quietly hopeful.
