Posting companies where I failed to clear

Got rejection email from the company which i so much wanted to get in. Got rejected after the system design round. I tried my best but not sure what went wrong. How do you guys handle such situation? One email just thrashed whatever you were expecting since past few days.

I am a frontend developer with 1.4 years of experience. I worked in a YC-backed startup where I led their product. I have given interviews at Simpl Pay, PhonePe and many small and mid-sized startups. For Simpl Pay and PhonePe, I failed the interviews and was disappointed in myself. In small and mid-sized startups there I answered 95% of their questions perfectly, yet I was still rejected. I have given 9 interviews to date and have been rejected in each of them. I would say 60% of them were interviews where I answered every question correctly and felt I should have been hired while 40% were ones where I failed to answer some questions and deserved the rejection. It has been 6-7 months that I am unemployed, learning React Native and TypeScript and going deeper into frontend technologies. I am not able to understand if this is only happening to me or if it is common in the current market. Any guidance or advice that could help me get a job quickly would be greatly appreciated. I feel well-prepared for interviews but any additional insights you have might be beneficial.

I was laid off in February. Finally after 2.5 months of boring interviews and life, landed a job. Today was Day 1. I was outside India for a while doing crazy stuffs. I returned in June and then started applying. Here is the summary. 1. Lots of applicants in the job market. Every job would attract 1000s of applicants 2. Most jobs require high experience - 5+ 3. Applying and finding companies who are hiring is tough. 4. Emailed everyone in network, took referrals from all friends, took referrals from LinkedIn (very low response), Applied on instahyre, Wrote to startup founders, applied Wellfound, Workday(worst of all), Naukri 5. Startups are the worst - gave petty assignments and ghosted after getting solution. Had to follow up multiple times but to no avail. They ate my whole 1 month 6. Some interviews were different - in one I had to code in python very fast. That's it. Wasn't selected as I was looking up for syntax on internet. 7. Overall it was a very boring and tiring process. I somehow maintained my sanity. YoE- 2 TC- 29L ( Base +PF)

Finding it difficult to get permanent WFH now. Can you guys please mention the name of your company if they offer permanent WFH. I'm currently working at swiggy and they offer WFH.

I have seen some companies post about them looking to hire a lot of people and ask people to reach out to them over DM (if their DM is even open in the first place lol), but when I do, I never hear anything back. I have 4 yoe and have applied to so many of these companies, reached out to people working there, but no one has ever replied back. Why do they even say that their DMs are open in the first place? I don't know how to even get my resume in front of an actual person working there, and my resume is not even that bad. Like how do people get interviews in these companies in the first place? I have applied so many times but never actually got contacted by any HR. Any tips will be much appreciated.

I have got an offer from Oracle, but in their service based domain, hike is fair but its all fixed comp and no ther benefits. I am applying to so many jobs but getting rejected. Not a single call from a product based company. I don’t want to work in service based as my experience in Infosys is pathetic. Till now I applied for about 200+ jobs but the problem is- Getting calls only from some unknown startups and their budget is low if they compare to my offer. Not getting shortlisted in any product based even with referrals. There is only one thing to be happy, that I have an offer and even if its service domain in Oracle, in experience I can show comapny name as Oracle and it won’t be mentioned whether its service based or product. But internally I know it won’t help in long run. It will only be showing in my linkedin that I work at Oracle. Frustrated with applying jobs and getting rejected everywhere. 2 month of notice remaining, not sure what shoudl I change in my strategy or what should I do. Overthinking is also cherry on the cake.

I have see many lists of places to work at. Let’s create a list of companies not to work at. Please post the company name and the experience of working their.

Quick background: A seniorish middle management guy here Got the last 2 jobs via my network, didn't apply for it. Some lessons learnt: 1. Get into that high iq, mafia type companies, where the bar is really high 2. If you end up doing good then you'll get calls from your circles to work on something exciting 3. Lastly, work on your personal branding, write that blog down, tell how you did it, it should attract niche audience in your circle Good luck 🤞🏻

Trying to see companies that people here have had the dream to join, but didn’t ultimately work out. Have you now grown over it?
