Software Test - QA

Resume seems to be fine. Its the market for freshers at this point which is horrible

Software Engineer

Damn that's a drab ass resume. Use enhancv to  create a better looking one

Ok... but I guess CV should look classic and formal .. or if I do more colorful and modern, will it be good?..

Anything that catches the eye man. Remember there's half ret@#ed HRs out there looking at your resume for screening, not sane minded engineering managers. Optimise for HR people.

Hey, might I suggest something? 
 Why not reach out to small startup founders? Tell them how you can help while reaching out. 
  
 Don't mass apply at this time, you may not make the cut and it won't be your fault.  
 Also, Hope you have github to showcase your skills?

Applying SDE role lots of time but get rejected even I have skills to work.. because of this I am getting doubts on my ability.. Now all time I think I am useless

Applying SDE role lots of time but get rejected even I have skills to work.. because of this I am getting doubts on my ability.. Now all time I think I am useless- Grapevine

I was persuing cse from a decent college in pune . In my last year i.e.2023 , I was placed in a startup in pune with CTC 5 lpa but it had bond of 2 years ,so I rejected that offer .I ended up getting my college placement account banned because according to them I was already placed ,so I started looking for jobs off campus,but I never thought it's going to be this hard to look for jobs off campus. Applying to multiple companies in a day ,resume getting rejected and then applying again .for some where I get shortlisted, they keep on asking questions from things which are not even mentioned in my resume although their jd don't even mentioned those skills .In some companies where my interview was 10 on 10 (according to me), still they rejected me and when asked they used to say ,they found more suitable candidates.
I graduated in September 2023 , and I am still looking for job , trying to upgrading myself everyday to get better.
I never regret my decision of not accepting that job. I don't know if I am getting any job or not but I am gonna be more strong and better with each passing day .
Regards .

Good or bad decision?

Hi everyone,
            I am a Masters student from Tier1 College(Please do not think I'm bragging about the clg I'm in but to give better idea about myself) will be completing by May 2024 previously graduated from a Tier 3 college in 2021 and before doing masters I had worked in DRDO for about couple of months as JRF (So I'm a fresher).
Please go through my resume and suggest me about getting a Job in SDE.
I understand there will be very less SDE jobs in future and I tried preparing for AI/ML roles but I really do not enjoy AI but still having some knowledge in AI domain (but not enough to work in AI roles) and I have very less hands on experience in doing AI projects but I have good experience in software development and want to leave the AI boat and whatever happens work more on Software development (as I feel it is not possible to travel in both the boats). 
I really applied quite a lot in linkedin, wellfound and other job boards but did not get any response from them. Kindly please suggest me what's wrong with my resume or what should I focus on in order to get a Job.
I was expecting 12LPA but now seems getting a job is a blessing.

-> Please let me know in the comments or DM me If there are Job openings 
-> I'm a fresher and have worked in MERN stack , have good knowledge in Javascript , comfortable in Express.js but open to any tech stack.
-> Also worked on Java, C++  (Open for roles regarding C++ a well)
-> Have strong understanding in Computer science fundamentals (OS,CN,DBMS etc)
Find my resume attached.
Please write your views , suggestions which are highly appreciated

Thank you

Really want a read from Every Software Engineer | Your suggestions are really Important for me

Hi folks,
I recently got laid off from a startup where 50% of the engineering team was let go. I was working as an SDE and during a restructuring, my role was changed to SDE-2 without any increase in pay or responsibilities. I have a total of 2.5 years of experience. In my first company (where I worked for a year), there weren't many projects, so I didn't have the opportunity to learn or code much. However, in my second company, I primarily worked on the backend using Go, Django, Kafka, MongoDB, & PostgreSQL.
I realize that although I gained exposure in my second job, I didn't delve deeply into the technologies. I mainly focused on completing business tasks quickly, learning new things just to finish the task at hand, without solidifying my understanding afterward.
My experience seems suitable for an SDE-2 role, but I'm unsure if I can perform the role with complete honesty and may struggle. Some friends in similar situations reassure me that this struggle is common in SDE-2 roles. However, I feel I might be better off starting again as an SDE-1, focusing on my weak areas, and aiming for a promotion later. There are very few SDE-1 job openings currently.
I am actively interviewing for SDE-2, and not able to clear system design interviews. Tbh, I feel very humiliated as when I am not able to answer their questions it feels like I am wasting their time or they would be thinking: Oh this guy has been working for so long and doesn't even know anything.

Now I get it why people think Indian Software engineers are not that good in comparison to other countries' devs: the reason is people like me. 
This realization burdens me with guilt, occupying my thoughts constantly. However, I am confident that I can crack SDE-1 easily. I have good DSA & good enough LLD, &HLD skills for SDE1. I am looking for companies who can match my prev Salary: 22 L, 2 Bonus.
Can u help how to navigate this career situation effectively without increasing my guilt or feeling constantly humiliated?

Laid Off | Stuck Now | Too Anxious | Please guide

First work on the feeling of humiliation and self worthlessness. Don't ignore this, I've done it and it's one of my biggest regret. Working on this will feel a waste of time initially given job search is highest priority, I assure you your future self would thank you.  
  
 Now you are clearly very self aware, most incompetent people don't even know their shortcomings. And you know what, many comparatively incompetent people are making much more money, having much less self doubt and just living more - it's like being more self aware is a curse.  
  
 How do you get out of this curse? It's a slow process. Write down the things that make you feel that way, come up with an an action plan on what you could do to reduce that - clear goals and actions always relive anxiety. Writing things down is extremely important, keep coming back to it whenever you feel the same way, eventually you would reason your way out of this. Most of the time you are in a loop, living in guilt and self doubt for the same reasons over and over. Documentation of these feelings over time will make it look so silly, how could the same problem give you so much mental pain again and again.  
  
 You will do just fine career wise. With a few more years of experience, I can guarantee you will evolve over time, the problems giving you so much mental pain would seem very trivial then - that if you are able to resolve these feelings - otherwise it's a hell I wouldn't want for my worst enemies.  
  
 Some questions to ponder over -  
 1. Can you do the job search while being just a little gentle on yourself? 
 2. Does failure mean you have no worth? Can you fail more gracefully?  
 3. Does 2.5 years of mistakes(even if it see that way) mean you can't do amazing things in coming years? 
 4. Above all, does feelings of humiliation and worthlessness help you in any way? If nothing else changes, wouldn't it be better to just be a little gentler on yourself? 
  
 Take care, you don't have a career problem, a mental health one instead

I have been trying to get an interview opportunity for so long but only getting rejection mails. Upon reaching people on LinkedIn for referrals, there is rarely any movement from their end. Kineof is frustrating when you know you got the skill and knowledge and still lacks the flow of opportunity.
Here's my resume link attached,
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/13ZfOXXbJIOXVYnnCZGHqMfHBU7CRetJ1

If you find this up to the mark, please be kind enough to refer and if not let me know what things I can upskill to be upto mark.

Referral for SDE - 1

Hi Grapeviners, I have ten years of work ex in performance marketing and CRM. I started job search actively from Feb 15 this year and landed first interview today. 

How bad is the market out there. I usually get hired with in 30 job applications, also I apply to the role only if 70% and above role match with my previous experience also use referrals when available.

Also please roast my resume https://stonedmind.tiiny.site/ have redacted wherever necessary to stay anonymous as possible. For the first time in my career I have a doubt that my resume might not be upto the mark

Please let me know your views in the comments. Any help is appreciated.

To land 1 interview it took 60 job applications

Being a tier 3 college grad, It took me 700 applications to get 25 shortlists, and only 7 interview calls. Converted all of them. 
  
 Sometimes you’re just not allowed to participate in the race 🙂

Hey,
I am SDE with 2YOE getting 10LPA.
Here I could see many folks posting their CCTC as 30LPA, 35LPA or even beyond for 2-3years exp. 
How is it possible? What you guys work with?
How many of you guys have such high CTCs?
Plz share your journey so i can pick up good stuff from it. Thank you

Getting anxious when I look at CTCs!

I'm actively searching for SDE-2 roles for more than 2 months now.  I have 2+ yrs of experience. From almost all the companies I'm getting rejected at resume level itself even tho I'm having relevant experience. Any tips on how to fastrack this and get interview calls?

Not getting any callbacks

I am a backend engineer with a 9 year exp. In my fourth company now. Started with 5 lpa, now at 31 Lpa. 
Mostly have worked in normal companies only. I am from one of the NITs. 
I am not good at DSA. Everytime I have to switch a job, my resume gets shortlisted  and I get call via naukri. 
The things is in these last 4 job searches I have been rejected 100 times. I have been rejected by almost all the companies, 
Service now 5-6 times, oracle 5-6 times, Walmart 2 times, goldman 3 times, jpmorgan 2 times, Amazon 4-5 times, arcesium 3-4 times, msft 2 times. 
Apart from these, I have been rejected by adp, celigo, phenom, barclays, flipkart etc. 

Every time, I want to change a job, I'll get rejected by all the big companies and then will get selected at some normal company with a hike and will join them. 
I am at my fourth company now, and again I am searching for a job. Have already been rejected by GS, service now, phenom, epam, ice, demandbase in last 2 months. 
Every time it is the same DSA. 

I try studying, will do decent amount of leetcode prior to interviews. Last two months I am doing leetcode from strivers sheet. 
But same question I'll do here, and in interview will fail. Example I have done sorted array rotation, shares sell and buy, rain water trapping, and was asked the same question in interview and couldn't solve. 

I also want to earn more and get into some big company and stay there for some times, what shall I do? 

My concerns are, I am getting lesser calls this time compared to the last few years, I can't be switching job every two years. 
Want to join a big company and earn more.

How to get better at DSA?

Hi , can folks here guide steps /suggest how to get SDE role at entry role . I regret giving 2 yrs a career for the civil services exam. I graduated with BTech in  2021 . If I had only sat for college placements at my Tier 1 college, I wouldn't have been living with regrets. I have been doing projects in the MERN stack . I also have skills like Postgresql, Trpc and am familiar with using ORMs and type validators like Zod . Since I had no previous experience at internship or full time , no companies are shortlisting my profile .

Need Guidance for getting SDE role after 2 yrs gap

Hey everyone, I'd like to hear your thoughts. Have any of you successfully aced an interview solely through tutorials, YouTube, or side projects without hands-on work experience? 
I am a SDET exploring a transition to SDE role, internally tried within my company ,not happening due to various reasons, hence trying to switch over. In order to achieve that, I've worked on full-stack sidd projects, practiced DSA, and made a good "tailored" CV that gets me interview calls. But I am currently facing mixed experiences in interviews. I am able to answer a few but struggle with some questions and seek advice on how to improve. Any suggestions for this career switch are greatly appreciated! Thanks a ton

Clearing interviews without actual work experience

Hello friends 
Hope the title is self explanatory
Some context, I am a SDE - 2 with 3 yoe and my resume never gets shortlisted . 
Whatever interviews I had given were because of recruiters reaching out to me on LinkedIn. 
I’m from a Tier 1 college and have good ratings on codechef and CF 
I’m so confused seeing people talk about how they get 1-2 calls a day. 
Could someone please let me know what could be the issue? 
I apply to companies like Stripe, Postman, coin base , msft etc

How to get Resume Shortlisted

So I’m trying to switch. Apparently my resume is not getting any responses. Possible reason : I’m not skilled enough. Since past two weeks I have started up skilling myself by doing DSA and reading different articles. (Obv this is along with a full time job) 

The dilemma is I cant decide if I should resign and properly prepare for the interviews or should I continue as I’m doing right now.

Because there lots to learn and the time I’m dedicating is not enough.

Ps: I’m a non IT guy with ~2 YOE trying to learn and adapt to IT world and new tech stacks.

Any constructive suggestions would be really appreciated.

Looking for a SDE-1 job

Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

Sat for 3 hrs made a lot of corrections using Ai and also added keywords into my resume for Infosys Associate consultant role for off-campus hiring.. still didn't get shortlisted.. what else I have to do for it...😮‍💨

Resume not shortlisted

Human Resource

I am a '21 graduate from a Tier 1 college (old IIT) and have had short stints as product manager at a couple of startups. About a year back, I decided to startup but after a few months, realized that startup idea wasn't worth pursuing. 

Researched around a few startup ideas and finally landed upon a good one in D2C space. But the problem is financing. I don't have much saving and friends / family network wouldn't be able to finance this. I really want to pursue this idea but finance is becoming a hindrance. 

So started looking for job opportunities about 3 months back. I have been exploring work opportunities in product / founder office / EIR roles or other generalist role. 

Job hunt process has been frustrating to say the least. Getting very few calls. In most cases, people are ghosting after couple of rounds of interview or assignment. In some cases, after getting through 2-3 rounds, I got to know that opening has been closed temporarily. Most HRs don't even have the decency to give feedback. 

I don't intend to work in job for long anyway. As soon as I have the job, I plan to start working on my business idea and quit as soon as I have enough financial leeway. 

How should I go about job hunt process? I have been trying to connect with folks on LinkedIn in whose company job openings are there. Apart from this, I have been connecting with founders from recently funded startups. Naukri / Instahyre and IIM Jobs are other portals I have been looking on. Anything I should do differently here? 

Looking forward to hearing your suggestions / experience.

How bad is the job market?

Just a advice: 
  
 Never do the assignment for any company.This company will ghost you every time after the assignment or will offer lower pay / lower position. 
  
 Companies just try to get ideas via the assignment

Please review my resume, if it's correct or not or need any changes. Even after applying to so many companies I am not getting any calls.
