Hey Zackary,
Thanks so much for reading and sharing what you've been going through! It's definitely a complex market.
The rapid change and difficulty selling is happening in startups and bigger companies... it just looks a bit different in practice.
I applaud you for taking the time to reconcile what's for you and not for you versus going along feeling lost/stressed.
