I have been applying via linkedin, company portal which show up on google search but somehow nothing is working out, cold dm, emails almost all eventually ending in radio silence. Not asking for some shortcut just that it all isn’t making sense.

You take an entry level position and suffer for at least a year or until you have the requisite experience for a job change. Truth of the matter is that there’s a lot of credential inflation; it’s gotten so bad that it’s become a bipartisan issue in the US.
Also, fun fact: getting a job is about who you know not about what you know. My husband and I have the same amount of experience, but he’s an executive, and I had peaked at middle management, but am currently working entry level because I can’t find another management position (and we don’t need more income). He’s the luckiest person you’ll ever meet; every time he gets fired, he gets a huge promotion and raise for looking on the job market because he knows a few good references. (he works in finance, which is prone to office politicking, thus easier to be fired)
