Am I the only one..

Have a few cousins who are passing out in a month time, they've got the analytical skills - SQL, Excel, Python, Tableau. Problem is they're applying for roles on LinkedIn, Naukri but no responses so far from last 2 months, what are some other strategies that can help them get jobs?

We hire interns occasionally, and the market for interns is so bad right now, students are approaching us to work for free (we do pay a stipend and don't ask for free work). Companies aren't even hiring that many interns, and college students need internship experience to add to their resume and compete in the market. Heck, MSMEs are shutting down and MNCs are doing layoffs, not very inspiring. We've managed to survive somehow through all the covid ups and downs. Would like to know more from students on GV, what's your college internship and placement scenario like? What are you doing to stand out?

Are there any monetary benefits when companies hire excessive Interns?

Recently scrolling thru LinkedIn I found many girls from my college are getting into Microsoft as a summer intern even if they don't have any leetcode , codeforces , code chef or GitHub profiles ... I am not sure how they are getting in. Meanwhile boys are not even getting the test link or interview for that.

I have done a 6M internship at Amazon but Amazon didn't convert any single 6M intern to full time employee even got a hire call from the manager. But Amazon has given the ppo to 2024 grad. Now Companies has started hiring only 2024 grad. No one giving the shit about my internship. Companies/startups are not considering that as experience, then why they are hiring intern? I applied to many companies even with referrals but none of them sent me a single test link. Big tech giants are done hiring with 2023 grads. Some are hiring but only to female candidates. Indian startups are the worst. they just wanted a guy who has all the knowledge according to their business model, doesn't matter how skilled you are. Anyone can learn new things in small period of time but Indian startups... I don't know what they are thinking. In such things mnc is good atleast they are not doing such shitty things to fresher. If I have done 6M internship at Amazon and got the hiring decision from manager, this doesn't imply that I have capabilities to work as a Developer? If anyone is able to deliver tasks in a company like Amazon where almost everything is new on which an intern is about to work then I don't think he will not be able to work in any other organisation.

I am a Product Designer at an Edtech Startup (raising 20m Series B soon) with almost a year (1) of full time experience but overall almost 3 (including internships) at some great companies. As I am looking for a change what salary should I expect? Considering:- - I have a design degree from a Non-IIT/Non-NID Tier 1 University (known for good engineers) [so good foundation hopefully] - The companies I have interned at range from Japanese MNC/Conglomerate, Indian Fashion focused E-Commerce Giant, Indian Food Tech/Delivery Giant & an Indian Digital Transformation Giant. - The average stipend I earned at these companies was around 40K/month. - The salary I earn right now every month is between 70 - 90K - I believe I have Got good Product focused UX knowledge. [Part of the Product team not a seperate Design Team] - Not another Figma/Framer drooling Designer. - Many of my peers from my alma mater are placed in Big Tech or Desi Giants owned by Foreign Giants So what salary should I be expecting? (Keeping aside the ESOP/RSU part) Is ~ 1.25L/month in hand is right ask? Please suggest.

I'm a '25 batch student and it's frustrating to see tech companies are mentioning "for 2023/2024 batch students only" in JD. Don't they wanna have a full time job rather than your 6 month internship after completing their course??

I have been looking for an internship for over 2 months now and im tired of hearing "funding winter" and "hiring freeze". I know i have a decent profile, and can do well in an interview. Can someone let me know if their org is hiring or if they know any company (wlb is not strict ig, I've to work for 2 months) . Help out pls🌹

I am a computer engineering student from a tier 3 college in Pune. Now that I am in the last couple of months of my 6th semester multiple companies have come to our campus but I haven't gotten an internship. How do i search for internships off campus? Are there any tips from some experienced people like what do companies look at when giving out internships. Since last month I started applying off campus using linkedin and other websites but I am not getting any callbacks for interviews or even online tests. Previously I haven't done any internships but have done projects which I have out on my resume. Please forgive me if the format of this post is wrong, vague or broad. I am writing a grapevine post for the first time.

I have seen multiple companies posting vacancy on LinkedIn and Naukri but I see no post of any candidate getting hired or sharing onboarding. Are they posting this to avoid panic in open market ? Especially in the field of Data. Thoughts ?
