Hi I am from India. Need a genuine advice.

I have 1+ year full time experience working remotely for companies in US and UK.

Since graduation I have been working as freelancer on Upwork with all international clients and it's been 3 years. Then started working full time in 2024

I lost my full time role in April 2025 where I was working for a company in UK remotely.

Since then I started freelancing again and looking for new full time roles whether in India onsite, internationally remote or on visa but it's been close to 1.5 years and still not able to find a role.

Neither in freelancing I am getting any contracts as I was getting before 2024.

Is the market really this bad or did I do something really stupid and facing a deadend now?

I don't want to waste time anymore and if something is really impossible at current stage I will focus on business or higher education except applying for job.

I am open to criticism, just want to know what actually is wrong right now.
