The fact that I have to download a GA4 report to excel just to filter it is laughable

GA4 makes me irrationally angry. How has this platform gone backwards so much? Today I was just trying to look at pages with the highest engagement. Of course, the majority of the top pages were obscure with only a few visits. So what do I do? Oh, I know- I’ll filter the report so that I’m only looking at pages with greater than, say, 100 views, then sort by engagement time. Hmm, where’s that filter button? Okay, customize report? Ah, there’s the filter, just what I needed! clicks filter dropdown and types in “views” Huh, can’t filter by views? Weird, maybe I’ll try users? Nothing. looks through filter options to see that not a single column in the report is a filter option WHAT THE FUCK, WHY CANT I FILTER THE COLUMNS IN THIS REPORT. Downloads the .csv, open it in excel and create the filter with ease How the fuck is GA4 so bad that I need to download the excel file of a report for basic functionality?

I've been a marketer for 12 years, and switching careers due to lack of work.

This isn't a pity post, but one out of frustration. I've been in marketing for 12 years, with a focus on social media and dual email/website marketing, and leaving the field due to lack of available work. One year and one week ago, I was laid off from my position as an associate director of social strategy, since then, I've applied to hundreds of marketing jobs from coordinator and analyst, to implementation and strategy. Changed my resume countless times. Haven't had a single bite. I've had a few interviews here and, but no luck. To pay the bills, I've started offering services developing websites and building out eCommerce platforms / strategies through said websites. I've been having much better success in finding work around that, instead of marketing gigs. Whenever I get contacted by recruiters and give them my updated marketing resume, there's simply no response anymore. Just kinda given and decided to focus on something that seems like I'm actually good at.
