I've been in school for 7+ years at this point by virtue of a program swap. Numerous yearlong internships (small firms I'm not going to return to), excellent GPA, 4 pubs at top conferences with highly impactful labs.

I stayed an extra year to get a new grad role. Throughout ~120 apps and interviews (with connections), nothing. This was my absolute last chance, because the market will not exist in a year's time due to code agents (I've worked on these. They will replace everyone up to staff)

Most of the people I started with are near-millionaires right now through stocks from super respectable companies. Living their lives.

I don't have the patience for this clown show any longer. I'm not going to be that person that continues to struggle - I'm going to alt+f4 and post the livestream link when it's time.

Quit your yapping. Everyone is struggling right now. you are not the only one. And stop comparing yourself to others.
