[UPDATE - Got Offer] Selected but no offer

Got a referral from @doofus for inmobi. Finished up the interviews. And now I’ve got the offer. Lfg 🚀

About me: 2023 Graduate. I have been hunting for full time opportunities since 1 year. Call it a mix of sheer bad luck, bad decisions, over filtration, less CGPA, low demand high supply etc. I completed a 6 months offcampus internship starting from January. PPO wasn't offered even after good performance however extension was provided. I will say I have been choosy to get into Software Engineering roles only unless there is a >15 LPA CTC. One should gather multiple offers to keep themselves from becoming unemployed but in my case moodiness prevailed which shouldn't. I have knowledge in C++, Java, Python. Familiar with React JS, MongoDB and worked with projects involving MERN Stack. Furthermore, I also have projects in ML, DL, NLP (for reference I have had knowledge of GPT architecture since 2021 by going through the research papers) Finally here I am with an offer giving 10 CTC. Cannot disclose the name except that it is a Gurgaon based startup with a product + SaaS structure. How did I land it? NETWORKING (not the CS subject) One key thing people don't indulge is making use of their networks. Hell even your personal network like friends, cousins etc. The benefit of this your resume actually goes through a human HR's eyes than ATS or keyword filter picker. A lot of shenanigans are going currently against us and it is our duty only to get the job. Being picky while being incredibly risky helped me avoid a lot of the bullshit that other companies especially on campus ones have pulled. CGPA cuts, Gender Quota, Deferred joinings, offers revoked, non extension of PPOs by citing bad performance but actually not giving tasks, layoffs due to bad financials, extended internship, revised lower CTC, fake job posts etc have all happened. All of my nearly missed companies which I really wanted to go to have done such acts and I don't have respect for all of them (except Goldman Sachs, yet) Therefore, networking > job postings. Good luck for all of the new opportunity

Got an offer from one of the top 5 FMCG brands with way better pay. I learned a very important lesson of being patient. I was about to resign that day but you guys talked some sense into me to not quit without offer. Happily put in my papers today Context: https://share.gvine.app/3dFd8PTrJEnwF1J29

I was laid off on 7th Sep and my garden leave was till 29th Sep. I got average severance package and I was in panic situation for almost 2 weeks. I gave interviews for 12 targeted position (luckily got till last rounds for all positions and got total 5 offers. 2 offers felt like being exploited, employers were milking my layoff situation and offered 10%-15%. I took a call to reject them and explore further. Got 3 offers in first week of Jan, these were worth considering. Yes I did wait for 4 months to see such favourable offers. One with 15% hile and relocation, second with 60k Euro and move to Europe and third offer with 100% hike with remote. It was a no brainer and I closed on the one with Remote and 100% hike. Dont just rush to close on anything which comes first, assess the future and close on the decent or best one according to ur needs. For those who were laid-off recently and looking for opportunities I would say keep faith market is opening and positions are getting listed. You will get something good soon.

Hi friends, I have recently applied at Accenture First round: the interviewer said, I should apply for a lower experience profile Second round: it was very very good and she even mentioned that I need to upload my documents After that my scheduler ghosted me..... She is not answering my calls. The status on the recruitment site says, contact the recruiter. As the scheduler is not answering, I dailed the help line. I was asked to wait for some more time. It's been almost 3 weeks. Can someone tell if this is an usual procedure at Accenture?????

Context: 10.5 YOE, Marketing lead. I've been looking for a switch since September last year. I'd seen signs of maybe my role or the company itself folding very early and knew 'twas time to bolt. But it's not that easy. Back then - 1 year in a startup meant hey not bad, people still spoke to you and considered your profile. These days, they treat you like Ebola if you've not had your ass stuck in the same place for 3-5 years. Anyway, so the majority of my time searching for jobs was the shitty Easy Apply or IIMJOBS premium account route. Suprise suprise. It doesn't work. But hey I was still employed and not nearly as motivated as someone who's unemployed. Cut to layoffs: Got laid off with my whole team and a huge chunk of other leaders. My first layoff, felt hilariously like the last day of school. To the org's credit they gave us 3 month severance, leave encashments and extra months for those who'd been there for 2 years+. In hindsight hearing the horror stories of 2k severance from Byju's. I'm grateful for the nice golden parachute I got. I'll be honest, it contributed heavily to my mental stability. I had time, I had leverage, I didn't have to run for the first shitty opportunity that came my way. The How I did it (why you struggled through the above stream of consciousness) - Wrote to 159 founders with one pagers to 35 of them with ideas on how i'd lead their marketing function. 5 replies. 3 interviews. 2 offers - didn't take em cuz they were super early stage or diff cities. This is immediately in month 1 so I've already started feeling icky about not getting great brands to have in my set. - Easy Applied to 768 (I ran a Gmail search, this is a real number) jobs. 99% no responses or you've been rejected. -Kept changing one letter on my Naukri.com profile, got me 6 calls, 3 interviews and 1 conversion I think theres a word limit to posts 🥲 following up as comments below.

Hi everyone, Thanks to all who helped me and refered me. I was recently laid off and was looking for job desperately. Then yesterday I cleared interview and got job offer as SDE. This time was so much depressing but now I it seems good. Thanks

Context- I recently joined X a week ago and I got a offer from Y today. I interviewed with Y a few days before joining X and told them that I will need a answer fast but they didn’t get back to me on time. They called me last week to tell me that they would like to move forward with me and rolled out an offer today. Should I leave my current company as they Y has come up with a better offer and APM role, whereas X has a lower offer (not too big of a difference) and Senior Product Analyst role. This is my first full time job, so I am confused on what to do and what could be the consequences

Hello viners! I'm a 2023 B.Tech graduate from Tier-1 college. My offer has been delayed so I'm looking for software engineering opportunities, both full-time or internship would do. I looked a lot on LinkedIn and other job boards but most of the openings have a min. 1 year experience required. I'm creating this post for people who are hiring freshers and for freshers who are looking for opportunities including me. I request people who have any leads to put it in the comments (startups are most welcomed). There are a lot of guys like me who are struggling so please take some time out and help us. Thanks in advance. PS: Freshers like this post as much as possible to highlight the gravity of the situation.
