Should I just give up on tech and go back to my old career?

Post Body

So I was an accountant for about 5 years. Hated it. So I quit in 2020 to get my Master's in CS. I graduated in December and it has been *nothing*. I build projects, I apply non stop, I pay for resume review services, I made sure my resume scans properly through ATS systems, I go to job fairs (or, try to. Almost everyone I find is "invite only" so you have to have connections to even get the connections for a job), I apply to about 100 jobs a week if not more, I bought LinkedIn Premium. I send *personalized* messages to every single job I applied to to their. This shit takes up all of my time, and I get *nothing*

I'm literally at my wits end. Is there just no hope? Even with a masters no one wants me. Student loans are coming due. Do I just give up and go back to low paying finance work? And that's assuming they even want me they will probs pass me over for being overqualified.
