Job hunt

Hey Folks, I am a final year BMS grad from DU with over 14 months of internship experience at various startup’s as a generalist intern. I am out looking for a job but every startup needs immediate joining whereas I have 3 months of college left and I see no point in interning anymore. How should I spend the next 3 months so that I can get an offer easily when I pass out ? Also : Open to interviewing 😛

I am a final year student currently working as SWE intern at a startup. It’s been around 8 months here. Probably they’ll give me a PPO, but since the market situations are not good I am a bit unsure about it. I am looking for some better opportunities. If there is any lead please let me know. Thanks

During my B.Tech, I balanced my studies with active participation in clubs and committees, and also engaged in sports and exploration. Aspiring for a non-core placement, I didn't participate in hackathons or apply for internships. After graduation, I pursued various paths, including preparing for the CAT exam with only three months of preparation time, but I didn't succeed. I then applied to several companies for data analytics roles but kept making new mistakes in each attempt. In one instance, I was rejected for oversharing my passion for data science in a final interview. To improve my chances, I optimized my resume and completed significant projects, but these efforts haven't yet yielded the desired results. Realizing the challenges of relying on a single target, I also started preparing for the GATE exam. Reflecting on my journey, I recognize that I should have applied for on-campus opportunities, as off-campus job hunting is challenging and unpredictable, regardless of one's preparation. Tell me your story? In order to get some hope that we can make it and it's never too late

Hello I'm 22F a 4th year student from a tier 3 college. I got placed on campus in a very small scale startup for 6.5 lpa but the internship period was of 9 months at 15k per month in blr. Now they have announced that they won't be giving PPO to us. My internship is ending in March 2024 before that I need to get into a new job. But all the openings are low paying i.e. 3 or 4lpa jobs and I'm in doubt with my DSA skills. I need someone who can mentor me on this path. I've worked on mostly Java, Springboot, Automation testing and C++. How should I prepare along with my internship in this 2 months?

Looking forward to some nice stories from the community. Some positive, some not so positive - what made you take a pay cut?

I m Tier 1 MBA with 3.5 years of experience in Strategy and Marketing. Took a paycut on my 2022 CTC to join a great company in a great role in 2023 during all layoff scenes of early 2023. This year also I m expecting hardly 7 - 8% hike. It is frustrating 😞. Salary day is the saddest day for me. My current in hand is lesser than my 2nd year salary. I want to switch but just worried about too many switches on my resume.

Can anyone help me with a sde or frontend or backend developer role I'm a 2024 passout worked in a startup for 10 months. Here's my skillset C,c++,Java, Javascript,Nodejs, SQL, python , a little bit of react, I mostly worked on list views, redirection , data modelling using mongoose I worked on a project where the pharama companies can request their new license or renewal their expired license seems easy but need to pass through various checks including government and different users so how to handle all these were too hectic So please anyone who is ok to refer me with a decent package is appreciated.

I have been unemployed for the past 6 months and have been rejected in a dozen of interviews. How can i get my confidence back?

Introduction: Started my professional journey at a friend's startup amidst the pandemic, delving into edutech and grocery MVP consulting when job options were scarce. Career Progression: •Began as a manual tester and swiftly climbed the ranks to QA manager, product manager, social media manager, talent acquisition, lead ops, scrum meetings host, business analyst, and reporting manager—all within three years. Challenges and Contributions: • Joined a team of 5, facing tight deadlines and escalating challenges. • Non-tech background but injected administrative skills, streamlining project management and operational processes. • Conducted 100-200 interviews monthly, meticulously filtering candidates on a tight budget. Burnout and Promises: • Burnout from 12-13 hour workdays, skipping holidays.Assurances of growth for everyone as the company expands. • Promised on reimbursement , which didn't happen. Shift in Dynamics: • After 2 years, team expanded to 30 members. • Entry of a senior manager triggered organizational changes, leading to politics and misunderstandings. • Company achieved its goals, securing a pre-seed investment of 3.5 million USD. Unexpected Turn: • Migrated everyone to a new company post-OKRs, except for me. • Left without a role and dismissed due to the absence of a space for non-technical roles. • Was quiet fired with alot of trauma. But was strong enough to get back on my feet Upskilling and Unfair Reviews: • Upskilled as a data analyst but was left out of review sessions, necessitating self-initiation. • Access to the CEO, once easy, became challenging post the senior manager's arrival. Current Dilemma: • Underpaid with a CTC of 3.5 LPA with a failed promise of hike • Transitioned to data analysis through sheer hustle and determination. Seeking Guidance: • Unsure about the next steps, seeking advice and suggestions from the community.

Hey All I graduated in 2021 out of DU and parallely converted my internship with a preseries A fintech startup for a full-time role, pay was less that what I would've got in campus placements, but I prioritised steep learning curve or a 15k per month salary difference. After spending 15 months reporting directly to the ceo in a 150 member team, I resigned. Initially the pace was enjoyable, later on it became toxic. Moved to Bangalore and joined another start-up, didn't take a huge hike since I just wanted to start somewhere. After working here for 7 months, now I have much for focussed idea on what my strengths are and I'm working with experienced folks (avg 8+ years). I'm a 22 year old working in the founding team of pretty good product startup (funded by Kunal and bunch of other angels). Currently I'm at 6LPA, and would reach a 12LPA in thr next 3-4 months subject to fundraise, what I would like an opinion on is if after completing an year and we don't raise a round, do I stay? Or do I go back home and prepare for Gmat or CAT, then do aan expensive MBA by taking a loan? Or do I find another startup asking for a 12LPA? or do I try for a established company role in program management or partnerships or something? I don't have any family money or business to fall back on, but fortunately I didn't take a loan for my education yet, and my parents would be okay to give me another 2 more years to figure things out. Would appreciate help from anyone who've been in a similar journey or just any piece of advice. Thanks!
