Bro please check howmany grads getting out of their colleges every year and then post this as many eligible candidates are not getting their oppotunity. Hence companies are giving opportunities to them. Instead of commenting on others connect with your college admin and ask what they are doing to show you better place to start your career in I.T?

Wish my college was that helpful in career building.

2025 batch students will join full-time next year. 2024 or 2023 batch students can join full-time immediately.

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 internshi...

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??

Can someone please explain why companies are still looking for 2023 grads for internships rather than 2024 & 25

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.

Is there any hope for 2023 fresher

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.

Tech rant

Bangalore tech scene is weird man. I feel even the auto driver knows how to code and the third wave barista is definitely doing leetcode because that coffee & sandwich clearly don't take 15 minutes to make

2023 grad. Was selected in a company during on campus placement but they have delayed joining till 2024 stating business requirements and a dearth of projects. Came to know that they have again come for campus placements to hire 2024 grads from my college. What is this recruitment strategy? Will I get joining date ever?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Talked to the son of my Dad's friend recently. Brilliant kid has a good GPA from IIIT-H + 2 research internships and 1 summer internship at good companies. He still can't find a "good" company to get into. 
(Side Note: "good" implies a high paying job relative to last couple of years)

Apparently, most of his friends in other colleges are in the same boat. Massive pay correction has happened.

The undergoing rationale is that companies hired Class of 2022 with no restraint because the demand was really strong during their placement season in 2021. This appears to be directly correlated with quantitative easing in the US and a low interest rate environment that was conducive to fundraising for several Series A+ startups.

By the time Class of 2022 entered the market, everything changed and they felt some short term change. However, Class of 2023 is having a much tougher time. They are shoved into the job market in a time where demand is low and they are competing with kids who graduated last year. 

Ongoing consensus appears to be that a huge chunk of their batchmates are going to get their Masters abroad. Their hope is that by the time they graduate out of grad school, the economy will pick up and demand will be strong while they're poised to take advantage of that with bump up credentials.

Unfortunately, this also implies that many of them will end up in the CPT-OPT-H1B-Green Card hell.

This is really a tough spot to be in.

Why not companies are hiring 2024 grads?

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

Advice for a third year engineering student

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

So, I completed my graduation in 2023 with a bachelor's in technology. I was placed in Capgemini on campus in September 2022. Have a letter of intent with me. Around  200 people  got placed. And from December-January 2024, my batchmates have started getting onboarding mail. It's just that i don't  want to wait any longer since i have given my most of the time waiting.  I would appreciate it if you guys share some 3rd party recruitment companies in IT field such as software engineering role and full stack developer roles.

Name some 3rd party IT recruitment companies

I was laid off on 7th Sep and my garden leave was till 29th Sep. I got average severance package and I was in panic situation for almost 2 weeks. 

I gave interviews for 12 targeted position (luckily got till last rounds for all positions and got total 5 offers.
2 offers felt like being exploited, employers were milking my layoff situation and offered 10%-15%. I took a call to reject them and explore further.
Got 3 offers in first week of Jan, these were worth considering.
Yes I did wait for 4 months to see such favourable offers.
One with 15% hile and relocation, second with 60k Euro and move to Europe and third offer with 100% hike with remote.
It was a no brainer and I closed on the one with Remote and 100% hike.

Dont just rush to close on anything which comes first, assess the future and close on the decent or best one according to ur needs. 

For those who were laid-off recently and looking for opportunities I would say keep faith market is opening and positions are getting listed.
You will get something good soon.

Worth waiting for right offer (100% hike with remote)

Damn you man! Something I am manifesting 🤞 

Congratulations on new role! Do share your learnings through the journey

Senior Manager

So just finished my graduation I thought I'll cry about not having a job but I got a freelancing contract as a technical trainer.

I want to become a software engineer, the current contract pays we somewhat 40-50k pm but work is hectic as I need to put a lot of physical labour,
But the reason I choose this 1. Current market 2. I didn't want to sit unemployed as personal situation is not that good.

So what should I do? Like continue the same and I'm sure they will pay more cuz I got to from the manager that I have a good explanation skills or try to go get another work even it's paying very less.

The reason I'm asking strangers on the net is bcz it's so complicated that I can't even tell my parents about it....

So guys please if you have a suggestion or personal opinion feel free to give.

Help!! I'm in a weird situation

Hi everyone, I would like to get an opportunity to work as an intern at a good product based company. I am currently an intern at Infosys and I was looking for an internship from the month of August onwards. I am a 4th year, 2025 graduating student. Kindly consider my request

Looking for an Internship

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.

Product Designer

Currently I am in my second year from a Tier 3 college. On campus placements at my college for the 2024 batch is really worse. Few companies are hiring for sales roles etc. and most of them are putting tough eligibility criteria and hiring only few.

To be very honest, I have no hopes from on campus placements. I am going for the off campus route.
What should I do to get a decent intern in third year/fourth year and a decent job by the time of graduation?

Talking about my progress, I am doing DSA, taking part in contests in Codechef, Codeforces, and Leetcode. 
Besides that I have started learning Machine Learning. Have done only the Math part and basics though still now. Been to 2 offline hackathons.

Second year CS undergrad

We know that many 2023 batch students are jobless, even one of my seniors who deserves a good job is jobless. 
And there are so few opportunities for them right now. 
Is it going to repeat for 2024 batch also. 
I'm asking this question, b'coz I'm not fully prepared yet, but applying to companies with what I got. Practicing dsa questions(1/3 topics covered), developing a good project(already have 1 small, and 1 decent project) & I'm confident I can crack a job IF I get at least 3-4 months. 
But I'm afraid that after 4 months there will be very less opening for the 2024 batch & all the focus will be on 2025 batch. 

I need your genuine opinion and guidance.

What does unemployment around you look like? Or if not around us, for people trying to come out of Tier 2/3 towns. These mass recruiters (behemoths like Capgmeni & Cognizant + TCS Infosys) are actually the gateway for many into a city life. In the absence of it, it's scary to think what they're up to.

What happens to those 1.5L students/professionals? Scares me everyday.

We probably will see an unprecedented economic divide in this country going forward if the unemployment rate stays this high. 
 And we know for a fact the government has tried to suppress this number to paint a rosy picture

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

I am a final-year student. Already have a decent on-campus offer(from GSTN). Know web technologies and python. I am looking for an internship for a long time. Doesn't get any responses or interviews(have a decent resume as all my batchmates and senior says).
Should I be worried?
Should I be more focused on learning or try to get an internship?

Should I learn new technologies or look for internship?

Why I see so much less openings for '24 batch. Is it b'coz companies are visiting on-campus now & they will fill their vacant positions after october-november. 
What do you think, when they will hire through off-campus, as in my college very few companies are visiting and mostly startups.

Less opening for '24batch

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Reading reports of students from IIM Blr and Lucknow struggling for internships. Does anyone have any insights on the real scale of this? Any insights on the ongoing fulltime placement season for 2024?

IIMs struggling with internship?

Executive Director

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?

Can someone please explain why companies are still looking for 2023 grads for internships rather than 2024 & 25
