Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I am starting a new startup and need to hire a couple of full stack developers on roll. 

Unfortunately I don’t have an in into a developer network and none of friend circles have any developers so I have to go the traditional hiring route.

Where all should I post the job listing for best results?

Developers, where do you look for jobs?

Senior Associate

Developers, where do you look for jobs?- Grapevine

I always thought that LinkedIn is the only place to get a decent job for Software Developer professionals. Is there any other app which should be considered for switching?

Best hiring application?

I'm a full-stack developer with experience in creating various projects, including some for clients. I don't want to go through the hassle of multiple rounds of interviews and end up with a low salary of 30k through college placements. I've been active on Twitter and reached out to people directly, but finding opportunities in the current market conditions is challenging. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! It's tough out there.

Finding Off Campus opportunities for developer

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hi everyone,
I'm working in a pre-sales role at IBM. I completed MBA in 2023 and I feel that IBM is bit slow and bureacratic. I was hoping I would be able to switch to a startup. But I have a few questions -

1. Do startups pay well for MBA based roles too or is it only the dev team that get paid well? My comp at IBM is 25 LPA and I would like to be within similar range.

2. How do you find primarily about jobs in startups? Is LinkedIn the best source or are there other more effective methods to know about openings?

3. Do startups hire MBA folks with ~1 years of experience in MNCs or do they primarily look for fresh out of college people only? Is profile switch possible (i.e. from sales to finance/operations/supply chain etc)

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Whoever is looking for a change in Product, do you guys have preferred platforms apart from the careersites and Linkedin that generally give you good traction from recruiters?

Doing this for a survey to understand what channel would be more effective.

Where do you apply for jobs apart from Linkedin

Talent Acquisition

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

we were playing truth or dare and my friend challenged me that she could get any job interview with a cold email/dm. 

I usually receive hearback from 1/50 job postings I apply to, so didn't believe her at all.

now she made a GPT to write cold emails and get job interviews.

I really wanna use it, but she is flexing so hard now, my ego tells me not to use it.

help me out, do cold emails and all really work?

friend made GPTs to get jobs😤

I have 3 years of experience in frontend. I usually look for jobs by creating profile on Naukri and expecting calls from recruiters. Also, I apply directly on company portals.

My question to the grapevine community is how should I find good companies?

What I usually do is search up great places to work list or top tech companies on G2. I also apply based on LinkedIn jobs / posts about openings and from Instahyre and Wellfound. Sometimes I do ask for referrals.

Is there any other ways to look up on good tech companies? What do other grapeviners do?

Need referral for developer roles

It has been 25 days since I got laid off from the startup that I was working for. I have given a few interviews. Got rejected in 1st or 2nd rounds in a few, went till the last round n rejected in a couple and haven't heard back from the HR in a few. Not hearing back, unanswered calls, delays in rounds etc. cause a lot of anxiety and impacts my confidence and preparation levels. How do I tackle it? 
Also, unable to find fresh openings in product/ strategy roles for past few days. This also adds to pressure and uncertainty.

In short, it is a very troubling phase. How do I deal with it? Need enormous help from all of you folks. Would love to hear some great thoughts / insights / hacks too.

Suggestions to find Startup jobs

Investor

So, I finally landed an offer with a product company as an SDE after months of struggle as a fresher. 

I hail from a circuital branch of the old IITs. Campus placements were difficult this year, so while I did interview at some good product companies (Microsoft, Amex, etc.), luck didn't favour me and I had tsettle up with a trading role with a low pay. (Other story why I decided to apply here in the first place)

Most of the news articles floating around fucked up placements at IITs are in fact true and I decided to try my hands at off-campus placements only to realise how difficult it is to get even your profile noticed (yes, even with a tier-1 college). 

So this is what I did which I believe can help freshers land a job in this difficult market:

1) Simply applying on LinkedIn esp. via easy apply won't work. There's literally thousands of applicants within a day for a job posting. So try to stand out among the crowd. 

2) Draft an excellent resume. Add things that you believe you can explain to the interviewer (doesn't matter if you've worked a lot on it, the interview is just an hour of you trying to make the interviewer believe the guy knows his stuff).

3) Know your strengths- are you good at DSA or are you good at dev. Startups would demand dev skills majorly, product companies would require DSA knowledge.

4) Start reaching out to people - very senior level people, HRs, Hiring Managers, people directly in touch with Hiring Managers, etc. Dm them on LinkedIn, cold email, and keep following up. In the case of early stage startups, directly reach out to the CTO/CEO. Sometimes, the jobs just don't get posted publicly. 

5) Don't lose hope. I've had days when I used to get a headache thinking of the future and days when I had multiple interviews on the same day. The market is just tough, you're good enough and things might take time, but you'll definitely make it through. 

I got interviews at a couple of HFTs, and a few good product companies and got an offer.

Finally landed an offer

I have applied for more than 300 jobs. And didn't get back any response. These are the jobs which I found on linkedin in which most of them have more than 200 applicants.

For context I'm a full stack developer with 2 years of experience currently working in a startup with a CTC of 7 LPA.

I tried cold emailing and messaging in linkedin.

I got two interviews after messaging directly to HR via LinkedIn.

And I'm targeting less popular startups with less competition.

Now my question is where can I find those companies
And what's the best way to reach out.

Also one final question,
I'm a single developer in my company and I'm handling the tech alone make technical disitions, design databases, architect projects, and manage deployments.
Can I point out this as a good thing? Will companies get impressed by this?

And how much salary can I expect?

Web Developer

How can one specifically target startups and succeed? While many pursue top MNCs or MAANG, getting entry can be challenging. I am keen on working with small startups. Has anyone experienced working in startups in Bengaluru or other locations where both good pay and learning opportunities are available? In terms of job search, is LinkedIn/Naukri or referrals more effective? When preparing for interviews, should one focus more on DSA rounds or development skills? What are the pors & cons or tips? Plz share your insights. Thanks
