Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hello People,
I am from non-tech background but I need technical job. 
I did BSc in 2020 and thought to do goverment job preparation but due to some tragedy happend in my family I was unable to do anything for my career for more than 2 years and after that I got to know that I can learn skills and apply for IT jobs. I have done course on fullstack in 2023 but i did not got a single call or job offer for fresher. I am really fed up now and depressed. I have to look after me myself and do everything bcz of no leader in my family. Plesse suggest me what shall I do. Is it fine to apply jobs with fake experience? Will that help and will it be fine?

Thank you!

I am BSc 2020 passout and did course in fullstack. I badly needed a job in technical profile.

Hi all, 
I am a recent BCA graduate , from tier 3 college. I was hoping that i would get a chance to work on amazing techstack when i joined Deloitte but unfortunately they onboarded me pretty late and i had already rejected offers for few organisations for the role of SDE, junior AI/ML associate and so on in the respective field. I did this because i was hoping that Big4 is a better place to learn and grow. When i joined in Feb 23 i was given training on Software Testing where i don’t have interest and i tried reaching higher ups but they told i might get a chance to work on tech i am interested in when i get projects. So i pursued this and got project on Testing as well, there also people said if you want to work on other areas there is no guarantee but you can help the developers as well and learn. Maybe you will get the chance to shift from QA but no guarantee. 
I am so frustrated with my current position, wherever i am applying they are not hiring me for the reason of having irrelevant experience and i can’t do internships as my family condition is not good and i have to constantly support them. I am stuck between quitting and taking a break due to financial problems but if i continue this how will i build relevant experience and switch to a different organisation. 

I request everyone to kindly help me getting a clarity, what should i do ? 
Can anyone help me get a different job role somewhere else? 
I am open to work in the field of Data and AI , Analytics as well.

Software Test - QA

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I come from a good college (tier 2) with very good placements but because of mental health reasons ( I was severely struggling) i had to skip placements. After being unemployed for 4 months after graduation my family forced me into taking a job I never wanted. Very low pay, extremely toxic work culture and insane work hours. I don't even have energy or time left to prepare for interviews or even apply to other jobs. This job is slowly pushing me back into depression. And it even hurts to see that all my friends are earning 17+LPA base + stocks and other benefits, while I can't even get a 15CTC job. I feel my career is over and see no hopes for my future. Should I quit so I can atleast prepare for a better job? Any advice is appreciated.

Should I resign and look for another job?

Software Developer

I have been battling depression from childhood when I didn't even know it was called that. I am trying to switch jobs, I got 1-2 offers as well but I am not happy at all. I stay at home with my parents and work currently. I fear moving to a new place for a new job all alone would be very hazardous for my depression maybe. I tried therapy multiple times, didn't work, tried yoga, reading books, meditation, yet nothing seems to work. I double doubt on myself working in the IT field as well and think I don't wanna do this, i don't know whether it's cos of my depression or me actually hating the field cos I felt bad during my college days as well in anything i did.

I think of offing myself to attain peace and come out of my head from all the overthinking all the time but I understand i can't cos I have to stay well for my mom and dad who love me the most

Anyone has any solutions (maybe proven ones) to this matter?

I.

Is there any way to tackle depression

Data Scientist

Its been 3 months since I left my last company after completing 8 months of internship, I rejected the full time offer because I was exploited and work culture was very toxic, since then I applied to more than 100+ jobs online and hardly converted 5 interviews and got 1 offer for part time which is soon going to be revoked, assuming from the company's behaviour. At this point I have lost all the motivation to work, improve and apply for jobs I am tired and drowing in self doubt. It even kills me to see the people who are not skilled as I am are getting good jobs and salary. With all this my family is not so supportive and not a single day has passed where I didn't get into arguments with my parents.

Struggling with Job Search and Self-Doubt

UX/UI Designer

I will complete 3 years as a professional soon. Quit a Big4 to join a startup for better pay and faster growth but despite putting in my best work and leading initiatives, going above and beyond all the time, my peers are all earning better than me doing similar jobs.

i never had a financially aware upbringing. my father put us through hell due to his bad decision making and despite me being very financially savvy, am unable to save any money because im so anxious I tend to spend what I dont have. i had to take up a lot of freelancing to aid my lifestyle but now im busy all the time and have no time to myself. 

idk what to do. idk how much savings my parents have since I live away from them and dad never discusses his larger financial plans with me. he also does not have a stable job even at his age even though I know he is v hardworking and does his best. i feel i will never have enough money to support my parents and myself and feel like im running out of time. also doing interviews to leave this shitty company as well which is lowballing tf out of me. im not sitting idle at all, trying to startup on the side as well. i workout, eat and sleep healthy, have a great social life. the only problem is money which im constantly worrying about. i feel its a generational curse passed down to me. I know I have 10x earning capabilities but its all so vague and uncertain. I have an amazing support system and I know I can talk to my friends about this too. just thought of coming here first

please share stories if youve ever felt this way. open to advice feedback ideas. how did you get out of it? what can I do? 

what are some business/sales roles that pay really well that I can get into as an ex-big4 analyst? i dont think my current profile translates well anywhere. f*ck this company honestly. probably the worst decision I made coming here :(

A lot. 
 Sister suffers severe psychological ssues. 
 Has been known since 4 years. Can't leave her alone. Trying to get her up on her feet has been a challenge since such people are not that socially acceptable. 
 We've had to juggle cities just so that someone is there to tend to her.  
 It drains the life out of your life. 
 Such things definitely affect professional life as you can't give 100% to your work when your mentally stuck at your home.

Product Manager

I am 33M, started working at 20. Earned 87LPA when I was dropped off in June 23. I am a very responsible person who had taken care of everything in the family for quite some time. My parents and relatives and everyone else who know me well, know this and kost have appreciated this at some point.
My sister separated from her husband 6 months after my marriage and had been living with me and my wife since then till COVID hit.
My mother has anger issues and my father is very obedient to her. I love my parents and they loved me I think.
Post COVID I moved to my hometown (because family) and things started going downhill. My mother will almost entire day find every faults in my wife and share it with everyone with an angry tone. I just listened to her initially for 2 years but at times I told her that it's enough.
Now she has started fighting me. After the fight I would go and apologize to her knowing that it's not my fault just to make things right.
This time when my mother fought with me she taunted me that you will come back and apologize. This hurted me even more than the fight.
Now I am not going back to apologize and she's escalating it every day. Convinced my father and my eldest sister(happily married) that I am a bad son. Shares messages like "maa bap ko pareshan krne vale bachho ko kya fal milta hai" in WhatsApp groups.
She has even asked me to vacate home. I am unemployed at the moment and I told her I will when I have a job.
I don't know how to deal with it. I can't convince people in the family that she has anger issues.

My parents hate me

Software Engineer

Hello everyone, I've been experiencing a challenging situation at my company. Over the past month, we've seen a series of weekly terminations among my team members. The rationale provided is a lack of funds and available projects. This ongoing scenario has taken a toll on my mental well-being, leaving me feeling quite unsettled. If anyone is aware of companies with current job openings, or if you could potentially refer me to such opportunities, I would greatly appreciate it. I come with two years of experience in React and React Native, and I'm actively seeking new opportunities. Thank you for any assistance you can provide.

So last year March i got laid off. Was there with the company for more than 5 years. Was told they are restructuring the org. I was devastated, though i wanted to move much before, but company did not cut pay or jobs during the peak pandemic, so i thought ill stick around for some more time. Next thing i know boom gone. I have taken a break since then almost did nothing.it's more than a year but anxiety of shitty boss, long hours work is hitting me even harder as i apply for jobs. Don't know how the market is going treat me.

Anxiety of joining work again

Analyst

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I am a graduate from LSR in economics and mathematics. Did a PGPM and did specialised courses in digital marketing, branding. Since it was difficult for my family to manage my expenses, I thought of starting a startup which helped me pay for my pocket expenses. I was always amongst the toppers in academics and had a good hold over numbers. Hence, I went to my Dean telling about my family situation for a TA rolef for quants. I got selected and that's how I managed my expenses.
When I started my corporate career, I started with marketing roles at early stage startups. Due to COVID, had to take a payment cut and shifted to startup consulting for 2 years doing marketing, strategy, partnership and project management. Given I had to take a cut, I got a Part time paid role with a World Bank and Govt of Bihar project.
Finally, landed in a reputable organisation like Startup India which comes under Ministry of Commerce and Industry but realised it is for politics, unskilling and listening to inexperienced government officials with barely any payment. Given marketing also handles events, PM level and CIM level events used to come in at short notices with every other weekend and late nights going to work. Since I am not into politics and I am looking for a job raise after taking almost the same salary since 5 years (I was at 67K in 2019 and I am at a little over a lakh now), I now want a better package and a place where I can learn and upskill rather than degrading my skills. After 6.5 years of working 14 hours plus almost half my corporate life, I want a more stable role. Desperately looking to get out for my mental health and physical health too. Any referrals or vacancies will be welcomed :)

Looking for a job with a good CTC (25L+) in NCR / remote

Marketing Manager

I have been working as a Software Engineer for one year and eight months, having joined a unicorn e-commerce company right after completing my engineering degree. My technical expertise lies in Java, Spring Boot, and AWS, focusing on backend development. Currently, I am facing a high level of toxicity in my organization and am considering a switch. Despite not having any job offers yet, the heavy workload in my current role is hindering my preparation for job interviews. This situation is leading me to consider resigning first to adequately prepare for a transition. However, I am uncertain and confused about the prudence of resigning without a confirmed job offer. 

Community please suggest what I should do ?

Should I make a switch?

was neglecting my mental health for long time...due to unrealistic deadlines and pressure today got a panic attack at work felt light headed and almost passed out.. currently i am not having any offer in hand so should i quit?.. don't want to my physical health to deteriorate more but i am really confused..not having any responsibility as such..having around 5 6 months corpus and can shift to my home and save more but still that uncertainty and fear is there which is making me miserable day by day

Got panic attack

I work in a well know product company but still I am unable to get any interview calls or even a email. Once I apply, all I am getting is rejection mail or no response. Is my resume bad? I have gotten promotion in my current job and also did some great achievements. What am I missing?
