    so the messaging is mixed

Take a balanced approach: cold call places that seem like a good fit, especially if you think they're out of your league. Worst case, they don't respond and nothing has changed; best case, you land an opportunity. Tailor your resume, add a cover letter, and either email the right department or show up in person.

This is perhaps too forward of me, but based on your latest post, you're a good communicator who can get your point across clearly. That's quite a skill=-especially if you didn't run it through ChatGPT or other 'polisher.' I don't think you did. Topic aside, it flows too naturally. If you come off like that in person-crisp, purposeful but personable-you definitely should try showing up at a couple of places.
