Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am a 2023 grad from a tier-3 college. I had 2 offers:

1. 6 months Intern + FTE, tech role, CTC 13, consulting company. Offer got deferred to December. Internship also got cancelled citing reasons related to recession.

2. Mass recruiter, CTC 6. Most likely deferred as no communication with company.

What should I do now? For the time being, I am interning at a startup to avoid gap in resume. Shall I start freelancing? I have 4 months of prior internship experience in React and Node.

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

2023 Grad's offer revoked to Dec

2023 Grad's offer revoked to Dec- Grapevine

My offer (from a FAANG company) has been deferred to January 2024. I don't know what to do now: 
 
1) I have another job offer (~8 LPA), but that job requires me to serve notice period of 2-3 months 
 
2) A startup's founder rejected me, saying he wanted someone for long term (he thought I'll leave next January)  
 
Should I try for full time jobs? Many companies become unwilling to take me in, presuming that I will leave in January 2024. 
 
Or should I look for internships (even though I have graduated)? Getting an internship won't help mitigate the risk of not having a fulltime job offer after graduation though.

Offer deferred, don't know what to do

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 😛

Growth Manager

I am currently doing an SDE Internship in one of the startups in gurugram. Initially I was given a 6 month intern + full time offer, all went well, but in the last month this company is revoking full time offers of some interns  and extending the intern offer to 3-4 months. What should I do in this case ? I am literally scared right now?

Unfair practices in startup revoking FT offer

Software Developer

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hi, I am looking for referral or any guidance for landing a fresher software role. I have experience with several tech stacks. My offer was revoked recently. Any help, would be appreciated.

Offer was revoked from the company where I interned for a year

I am currently in my third year studying computer science and I am confused about what to do next. Here are some quick points about my profile:

- Strong GitHub profile
- Part of Google's summer of code 2023
- Built some interesting projects (tech stack: typescript, postgres, redis)
- I have studied a fair bit of High Level Design (System Design)
- I have a decent leetcode profile (500 questions mostly medium and Hard) (1800 contest rating)
- I also have strong CS fundamentals (DBMS, oop, CN)

I am currently getting interviews from startups but they want 6 month interns and I cannot do such a long internship right now with college. I am only available for a 2 month summer intern (which most startups don't want). I am from a Tier 2 college and we do have some good companies come for placements but I'm not sure about the scenario for next year.

Any tips or advice on what I should focus on? how I should prepare? what kind of companies I should target? 

Your experience and insights will be of tremendous help for me

What should a tier 3 2023 graduate do now in this situation?

Advice needed

Hello everyone,  So I am an ML intern and a 2024 cs graduate, I have been doing internships since 3rd year of my engineering  and right now I am interning at an startup since 1 year and I don't have any full time offer as of now and the startup where I am interning is also not talking about full time offer, so what should I do now, ask for increment in stipend, ask for full time offer(talked to them in December, HR told will see when in April may, when we will raise funding, he also added "consider that you will not get" but I still kept interning) or keep applying at other places?

Should I ask for increase in stipend as I have completed 1 year?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I am a tier three college student with good coding skills, and as we all know, the market situation is totally messed up. Despite this, I have received one offer of 5 LPA in Surat (startup) for the role of SDE - 1. What should I do? I don’t have any experience or internship offer is based on all interviews rounds  and coding skills. Any opinion is it good start !?

Advice Needed: Job Offer Dilemma as a Tier three clg

I faced job loss in November, with one year of experience as a 2022 batch passout. My skills include JavaScript, React, and Core Java, and I've begun practicing on LeetCode. Despite applying to nearby companies and MNCs, I haven't received any responses, leaving me feeling tense and depressed. I'm uncertain about when hiring will resume.

lost job 3 months ago

I'm currently working at a startup in Bangalore. Consider that they are paying me X LPA. All fixed. I've total experience of Mar-October as Intern and October - Present as SDE1. So overall experience of 8 months. This means that my appraisal is due in next 4 months. As per our appraisal policy and as per conversation with my manager I'll receive around 50% of hike. So that will make my CTC as X + 5. But the catch here is that the project which I'm working at is fucked up and this project has highest attrition. Very bad client and constant abuses and abnormal working hour around 12-13 hours daily. Evrything is fucked up and I don't enjoy working here in this project. Project change is also out of question as no one will take this.

I've received an offer from Health startup eka.care but they are offering X+3 that too with lot of negotiation. The work culture is superb, the tech stack is fun and great, people are nice and team is highly qualified and great. 

I don't know what to do? I don't want to keep switching the companies every now and then. It's true that current org is paying and they will pay even more post appraisal but the work is not good and I don't like the work. New org work is good and I really want to join but they are not paying great, I mean the 30% hike is decent but if they pay X+3 then I would have to look for job again after 8-9 months because I'll be really needing money at end of 2025.

My total experience:
8 months - If intern can be counted then 14 months.

Please suggest me what to do? If I constantly switch in 6/8 months then that would deter other recruiters to contact me because I've made very unstable choices. I'm confused what to do, if any of you have been in such situations then please suggest.

Should I prioritise money? Work? Both? What about my profile? So much confusion is there and really I'm awaiting your inputs.

Confused on what to do next

Finally got an offer after 6 months but should I take it?

I'm a 2022 grad. Got an FTE offer from WITCH after completing their internship. I waited for them to onboard me after graduating, but after a few months, they revoked my offer. So, I started applying everywhere, grinded Leetcode & did some open-source contributions. 

After 6000 applications and 100 interviews, I finally got an offer today. 100% hike as compared to my previous FTE offer. It's from a small firm in Delhi, I've to relocate since it's WFO. Had a chat with the founder. He was a very nice guy & pretty frank. Said I would be working on their own product, so it won't be like working in WITCH (Client Projects) or FAANG (Latest Tech). I would've to take ownership of modules. Told me I should think about the offer & take a concerned decision. Role is FE (React).

So, should I take their offer? I have 2 other interviews lined up this week. Both of them would be around 120% hike if I cleared them.

Finally got an offer after 6 months, but should I take it?

Hi everyone! 
I am a fresher and had a full time offer from Byju's and I had joining on 16th June which got deferred to 2nd August. Today I got another mail and it is further deferred to January 2024.
I don't have any other offer right now and I tried texting HRs on LinkedIn but no response. I used to be an active CP coder in college days. Any referral help/advice is appreciated.
Thank you!

Byju's offer deferred

Don’t wait. There will be no tech team until jan’24

Product Designer

I am a final year student and will be graduating in may and I am now confused because I have been doing internships now for more than a year, first internship was of 6 months as an backend developer and now second internship is still going on and this March 3 I will complete 8 months here as an ML Intern, and now my current company which is a startup has told that they will think about my PPO when they will raise series A in April may and they have hired many senior engineers and have expanded the than to size of 40 and now I have got an another intern position at an YC startup, so what should I do, should I join there as an intern considering the stipend is same which is ₹45k  per month and it is also remote but the problem is I will be graduating and I don't have a full time offer, I do have skills but still not having an full time offer bugs me, what should I do please? give some advice.

Need Advice, I am confused.

My on campus job offer got deferred to 2024 with no exact month or date given. I was interning at a company and now am planning to join as FTE here till that job arrives. The off campus offer is ok ok, I do not enjoy it but am doing it to prevent resume gap and earn some money.

I have plan to switch to the on campus job in 2024 when it arrives by resigning at the current company. I am worried if it will create any problem? Can the on campus job offer be revoked? Any issue with the pf account transfer? 

Sitting idle and waiting for next year does not seem sensible to me. Please let me know your thoughts.

On campus job is deferred to 2024, have another offer

DevOps Engineer

Hi all, for a quick background, I graduated from a Tier 1 college this year. My offer got deferred and finally revoked. I have joined a wfh company for 40% of the previous package. Work here is not very hectic and I definitely want to switch from here in a year or so. 

I think it's a good time for making a good personal project to learn new tech ( non circuital branch with not much dev experience). I was thinking of a full stack microservices based project in node as I have done a mern stack project before. I won't be able to make end to end from scratch. 

Can someone suggest a resource, for eg any course, from where I can get theoretical as well as implementation knowledge.  Or, if any other suggestions that would be appreciated.

Suggestions regarding dev project

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, finally

Hii, I'm a front-end developer having around 3 years of work experience. I got laid-off in 2023 just after 1.8years in an organisation. Then I joined another company and got laid off in 6 months. Now I have an offer from early stage startup but I'm too scared to accept it because of my experience. But on the other hand I don't have any offer as well. Will it look bad on my resume. I don't know... I've started thinking that something is wrong with me otherwise what is the chances of getting laid off twice within same year. 
First I loose my peace of mind because of work pressure and then I loose my work... pretty f**cked up situation.
I have never been this unde confident. 
What do you think shall I take the offer from startup again or wait few more months or more to get into good mnc??

2 Layoffs in 2 years

Hey guys, I'm stuck in an MNC currently without any real world project for almost half an year now. I've been building projects on my own and looking for a switch. Since, situation in the market is a little tight, I'm hardly finding any non internship opportunities for freshers. Kindly let me know of any sources or any suggestions on how to move on from here. Seeing my friends getting fired from FAANG co. and still not get any other offer makes me more disheartened. Please help.
