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 keep trying until something works.

it took me 100s of applications to find employment anytime i was out of work. dozens of interviews. usually got 2-3 offers all at the same time.

most people need 6-12 months to find a job. it is a long process. even if the economy is booming, it will still take people 3-6 months. when it's really bad, it's years.
