Navigating a Tough Job Search: Seeking Advice on Career Pivot and Networking

I am currently facing a tough job search situation. After working as a quant trader in a hedge fund, I find myself unemployed longer than I was ever employed. I've sent out thousands of resumes without any success, and it's becoming increasingly urgent for me to find a job within the next four weeks or I will have to move in with my grandmother. I'm 28 years old with a BSc in Computer Science and an MSc in Algorithmic Trading, and I'm realizing that the overnight tech roles I was aiming for have become obsolete. I need to pivot my career path and am looking for advice on where to go from here. I’ve been advised to rebrand myself as a Data Consultant or Risk Analyst instead of just applying for Software Engineer positions. I’m also considering leveraging my network on LinkedIn for referrals, as the job market is incredibly tough right now.
