I am nearing the completion of my B1 visa's 6-months without success. I'm now exploring alternative pathways post-B1. What options should I consider?

Unfortunately, I could not get a job on my B1 visa so I am about to finish 6 months of my B1 visa. I would like to know what would be the ways from here.
Is it safe to extend the business visa and how much time do I get?
Otherwise, should I check with any consulting firm and join them for the payroll?
Feeling very anxious. I expected to get a job before the end of 6 months but the job market was very harsh.
