Frustrated to core:

Recently started giving interviews and cleared a few rounds in a couple of companies. I never heard back from any of them even if I felt the interviews went well. Very frustrated because of this as I fail to understand how difficult is it to just reject or send a rejection email if they don't want to hire. I understand that companies have 100s of candidates in their pipeline but it's so frustrating to not even get any rejection mail and get stuck in a limbo.

Hi folks, I have been part of one company for 9 years. I feel like bored and mundane. I am trying to switch jobs for past one and half year and unable to crack any interviews. Each interview slips because of some reason. Now my current company based on my performance asked me to find job somewhere else within in few months.. I am still unable to clear interviews.. Sometimes feel very downward because of this but deep inside I feel like I am more worth than this.. Market is also so uncertain now.. My salary is 32L.. I feel like I am stuck in my career. Any advice or recommendation?

I have got an offer from Oracle, but in their service based domain, hike is fair but its all fixed comp and no ther benefits. I am applying to so many jobs but getting rejected. Not a single call from a product based company. I don’t want to work in service based as my experience in Infosys is pathetic. Till now I applied for about 200+ jobs but the problem is- Getting calls only from some unknown startups and their budget is low if they compare to my offer. Not getting shortlisted in any product based even with referrals. There is only one thing to be happy, that I have an offer and even if its service domain in Oracle, in experience I can show comapny name as Oracle and it won’t be mentioned whether its service based or product. But internally I know it won’t help in long run. It will only be showing in my linkedin that I work at Oracle. Frustrated with applying jobs and getting rejected everywhere. 2 month of notice remaining, not sure what shoudl I change in my strategy or what should I do. Overthinking is also cherry on the cake.

I quit my last company in Dec 2023 due to some reasons. I was not aware the market would be this bad. Basically in a nutshell I have at least given interviews in 10-15 companies till now, cleared most of theirs all rounds, but for some reason or other they didn’t release an offer. some feedback includes, why do you want to join us with such less hike, you would leave us in few months. One said they are not able to get final sign off from their lord in US. And mostly others just stopped responding. ATM I don’t understand anything, emergency funds getting over, and realised all the network I made till now in my career and whom I helped are of no use. I know I wont get any clear advice here also, but just venting out. I am on the brink of just quitting everything of this corporate drama and start prepping for govt exam, or start a small biz in my town

Hi all, How common is it to clear all interviews and still not get an offer? The recruiter confirmed I've cleared all interviews & asked for salary expectations etc. As next steps I've to wait for the hiring team to decide based on pay among candidates. Ive never had someone ask me details like notice period, current compensation documents post clearing interviews & still be unsure of offer. Can hiring managers please throw some light on this?

Hi Guys , I started my job search in June Not getting much calls In interview the people who are taking interviews are having whole different level of attitude. 0 offer letter till date . Feeling stuck and demotivated.

I've had the fortune of having worked in 3 countries so far. India is by far the most exciting place to be in 2024. But there's something about our work ethic that just concerns me. In both white and blue collar. In most other countries, I've observed people strictly sticking to the 9 to 5, working diligently in those hours - not wasting too much time on chai sutta breaks, instagram browsing, gupshup etc. They work for 8 hours, then leave. And think about work directly the next day. In India, most of us spend more hours - but very obviously very few of those hours are productive. In fact, I lately feel that too many people around me are doing even 2-3 hours of work on a good day. We end up just staying around, passing time, and then go back home. When we could have achieved so much more. Work ethic has fallen. Work hours have gone up. We need to be more mindful of our actions, we need to work well at work, and then do well at home. I think it's a function of being over populated. There are 1.5-2 people doing what 1 person should be doing, hence this effect. Needs to be fixed, it's the sign of a major problem in the workforce. Thoughts?

Work culture has become ultra toxic. Managers have started nano managing and literally are a pain in the ass. Product giving unrealistic timelines and leadership agreeing on the same without even consulting the developers and even if the developers are raising concerns, no fucks are given infact they are made to realise that this is how a startup should work. Literally everyone is working their asses off and still unable to meet the deadlines. Empathy is completely lost and WLB is a sham. People including me want to switch but are not even getting time to prepare.

I am in PIP for 60 days and trying to switch within 60 days , but no luck !! Attended almost 21 interviews . I got positive responses from some of the companies but later they did not schedule next round even they did not provide feedback. You can imagine how frustrating is this . Already passed 26 days and no offer in hand . Need advice and support.

Why these HR’s not ready to provide feedback after the interviews round . I am not getting if candidates attended interviews for 1hr / 45 min /30min at least they deserve feedback doesn’t matter if it’s positive or negative . It’s better to accept negative/positive feedback instead of keeping hope . This is big demotivating for us. It’s a request to all HR’s please don’t play with our times. And one question why you are more active before setup the interview and then act like dead .
