React.js router going to other page renders blank page

Question

First of all, I am using stateless components (functional) The problem I am running into is this: When going to another route via Link component I am getting the blank page, and after refreshing the page the component loads. I have all my routes inside the App.js

<BrowserRouter>
    <Switch>
      <Route path="/panele" component={Dashboard}  />
      <Route path="/prisijungimas" component={Login} />
      <Route path="/skelbimas/:id">
        <HeadLine>
          <h1>
            SURASK DARBĄ <span>GREIČIAU</span> IR <span>EFEKTYVIAU</span>
          </h1>
        </HeadLine>
        <SingleJobPost />
      </Route>
      <Route exact path="/" component={AllJobPosts} />
    </Switch>
</BrowserRouter>

);

To be honest I am kinda desperate over here. When I don't have the exact attribute on the route component pages are loading - but it is stacking on each other - this is not ok for me.

EDIT: The Dashboard component:

 const Dashboard = props => {
  let data = JSON.parse(sessionStorage.getItem("user"));
  let history = useHistory();
  let { path, url } = useRouteMatch();

  let header = new URL(window.location.href).searchParams.get("header");

  return (
    <>
      {data === null ? (
        <>{history.push("/prisijungimas")}</>
      ) : (
        <DashboardWrapper>
          <Navigation>
            <DashboardLogo>
              <img src={dashboardLogo} />
              <h1>Valdymo panelė</h1>
            </DashboardLogo>

            <nav>
              <ul>
                <li>
                  <Link to="/panele/skelbimuvaldymas?header=Valdykite sukurtus darbo pasiūlymus">
                    Sukurtų darbo pasiūlymų valdymas
                  </Link>
                </li>
                <li>
                  {" "}
                  <Link path="/panele/valdymas">Pranešimai</Link>
                </li>
                <li>
                  {" "}
                  <Link path="/panele/valdymas">Pagalbos centras</Link>
                </li>
                <li>
                  {" "}
                  <Link path="/panele/valdymas">Vartotoju valdymas</Link>
                </li>
                <li>
                  {" "}
                  <Link path="/panele/valdymas">Logs</Link>
                </li>
                <li>
                  {" "}
                  <Link path="/panele/valdymas">Mano profilis</Link>
                </li>
              </ul>
            </nav>
          </Navigation>

          <EditorWindow>
            <EditorHeader>
              <h1>{header}</h1>
            </EditorHeader>
            <Editor id="style-1">
              <Switch>
                <Route path={`${path}/skelbimas`}>
                  <JobPost />
                </Route>
                <Route
                  path={`${path}/skelbimuvaldymas`}
                  component={ControlJobPost}
                />
              </Switch>
            </Editor>
          </EditorWindow>
        </DashboardWrapper>
      )}
    </>
  );
};

@lomse I have a problem with all the URL's all of them loads the white page, and the errors I get is not related to the roating problem - the error appears when the component doesn't load. — Jonas Tamoševičius
As @Sohail pointed out, without the content of the component, it will be difficult to understand your issue — lomse

I fixed the problem this way:

It works with the functional component as well - I approached it this way:

First of all, make sure to make an if statement to check it the values are loaded if it is not that render empty block otherwise render the actual component with all the data.

 {!posts ? (
        <></>
      ) : ( COMPONENT) }

The secound thingy which fixed the problem was - in uedEffect method calling async function, not doing all the logic inside the method it self.

  const fetchData = async () => {
    const result = await axios("http://localhost:1337/jobposts?confirmed=true");
    setPosts(result.data);
  };
  useEffect(() => {
    fetchData();
  }, []);
