I encounter a lot of job openings which require some experience, say 1 year or 2 years. Even though I feel I would be a great fit being a fresher and someone with little experience (goggle summer of code and only intern experiences), I end up not applying as it would need a referral and I would possibly be wasting time of the person who would be giving me referral as possibly my application might not even get considered (as I fail the experience benchmark). Can anyone suggest what should I do? Is there a strong cap about the experience required ?

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

So basically like every time I see a job vacancy I do apply for it.. But I'm not sure why I never get any calls back Or mails and these days I only see vacancies where they want only experienced people like more than 5 or 10.. I mean...where am I going wrong in this job hunt... I'm having 2 yrs of exp where I have wasted 1 yr being in bench so I could say I didn't get a lot of insight for my yrs of exp.... It sucks tho.... 😢 where should I start now what should I do? Completely blank...

Have been applying in various openings through referral but no calls yet.

Applying through referrals but not getting calls | Roast my resume

I have ~1yr of work experience. I am trying LinkedIn, Wellfound, Naukri, YC and everything else I come across.

But every position i see requires a minimum 2yrs of experience. Even for the junior roles. Even for the fresher roles. Recently I saw a jr front-end dev position with 7lpa package he that required 3yrs of work experience.

If luckily there's any job for <2yrs gang, it's underpaid, requires to work on weekends, need to be in blr / hyd immediately.

Not to mention that I'm hardly getting any responses back. I don't even get rejection emails these days.

I am just tired at this point. I don't know what do to. It feels like everything I have done so far is a waste.

All jobs require 2yrs of work experience [RANT]

Software Engineer

I am a 23 grad, fulltime exp around 9 months. Prior to that did 3 internship as full time. That experience would be close to 9 months. Did more stuff at my interns rather than my curr job. Also did some tech related stuff, hackathons, blogs, conent writing. When I apply to any job, people rightout reject me because I am a fresher 23 grad. My say is atleast look at my experiences and just not reject me because I am 23 grad. What's your opinion over this?

Experience or grad year?

If a company X has posted a job vacancy for a role and mentioned yoe of 3+ years , would it be a waste of time to reach out to the recruiter if i don't have that much of experience ? 
Has anyone been recruited given they have the skills , irrespective of the yoe ?

YOE mentioned in LinkedIn jobs

I am currently working as Frontend developer (NextJS) (React). I have 1.5+ YOE .

Recently i have started applying in different companies for FE role but none of them reverted back to me except 1 startup (that was in very early stage)

I want to switch because - 

1. Salary is less (9lpa).

2. Here they only focus on new features not code quality and optimization.

3. I want to work on scale

Is Applying for Jobs without referral is waste of time

I have 1 year of experience and have been on the lookout for a switch lately. Most postings I come across require having prior experience on their particular tech stack. It does not seem to matter that the work I have been doing is exactly what the job needs, just that I use a different language and framework to achieve the same thing. Honestly, I could bridge the gap within the first month when no one expects anything from me anyway. Funny thing is, I have actually gotten an interview for a role that is a bit different from my current one but since I have experience in the language they use, I was shortlisted lol. This is a shift from what I have heard from my seniors, they said that nature of work, dsa proficiency/problem solving skills and even college mattered more than the tech stack.

Have you all also faced the same or is it just me? Any reason why this could be happening? Maybe because companies feel like they will waste time and effort in training the employee in a new language? Anyway, I would like to hear from you all!

Are the days of tech stack agnostic hiring gone?

Hello folks!!
I have an internship experience of 7+ months
Currently doing internship at the same company
Wanted to move on as I'm not learning here much and also PPO still not offered (they aren't even sure about it)
Also feeling my friends getting full time offers from their interning companies feels fomo for me 
If you have any openings for full time 2024 graduate with 7+ months software internship experience
Please share the links and give referrals
Thanks in advance 🙏🏻🥺

Any openings for full time?

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.

How to search for software internships

I am a fresher 2023 graduate and have been doing this (applying for jobs) for almost a year, everyone said you have to do internships as it is necessary so did 2 internships one for a year and another for 6 months but apparently no one counts internships as experience even jobs that had 1-3 yoe as requirement and now everyone's hiring 2024 grads as freshers (I tried to look for another internship but there were none during the time of placements).

I am now tired of this field, many full stack devs don't know shit outside Javascript world and many of them can't even use tools like git properly and are so cocky of themselves. 

Saw an SDE on twitter who apparently has 6 years of experience, doesn't even know how to configure multiple SSH and says managing multiple ssh is a downside. A women dev (cause in India you have engineers and female engineers apparently) doesn't know about sidebar cache and calls it a bug and she's in google. and If I try to roast these people with my real name there's a whole cabal of Banglorians who will grab their macbooks inside third wave coffee and start tweeting against me after aggressively drinking their Chocolate mocha frappe.

Just go into any random tech twitter space no one seems to be talking about tech it's always about DSA, interviews, LIFE IN BANGLORE, which cafe they visited.

I let myself believe tech was my passion and worked hard  for but Indian techies and companies are worst, this generation thinks they are better than their predecessor but follow the same politics everywhere even when it comes to Tech communities (who tf does politics in a community that produces open source code wtf).

They talk about networking and creating a community all the time but can't even respond to linkedin cold dm and blame the sender by nitpicking about the format 👏👏 and then they'll go on post the screenshot and rant how it's the sender fault to even try to network with them with a message that isn't written from their own blood.

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a HR Professional who can hire people (with backdoor options).

Because nowadays people with good knowledge are not valued. Companies need experience only. How a fresher can get experience without anyone hiring them.

This issue is not only for freshers, this is happening with the people who have experience and want to change their career field.

Summary: You refer the people who are looking for a job they'll pay you a referral bonus. You got money, people got a Job.

It's a Win-Win
