Guys how are you cold emailing or talking to recruiters on linkedin- Grapevine

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hello all

I work as a software developer at a seed -> acquired startup. Total work ex is around 1.5years. I am looking for a change now. 
Till now I have applied to some bigger companies with referrals and some through job portals, only got one call till now after applying at many of them.

I want to switch gears in my application now as I want to switch as soon as possible. The next step would be cold emailing decent startups. 

Could you guys help me with my approach to cold emailing and share some best practices? I don't have much experience doing cold emails because I've gotten previous jobs either through campus/angellist like sites.

PS: The number of calls/applications is making me a bit anxious
I've tried dropping LinkedIn connect messages to a lot of recruiters and engineering managers but no luck

Job Hunt

Software Engineer

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

I recently enabled open to work on my profile,
Got immediate responses from recruiters,
They show so much interest saying “ Your skill set, experience is amazing and this is exactly what we are looking at our company, please share your resume and we can take this forward “
I get all hyped and share my resume, and I get no response back. Almost 5-10 recruiters have ghosted me like this.
I follow up multiple times asking for any update. And I get no response. They don’t even say “ I have forwarded your profile to the HM and we’ll get back to you “ 

Some of my friends are also facing the same issue.

I’m a product designer with 11+ yoe, if anyone here can refer me it will be really helpful 🙏

2. Sending cold emails to HRs and Engineers (very few refer, but then again status never changes from "in review")

3. Applying on portal directly

So, my intern period ends this month. They said they are going to convert me to full-time, but the problem is I researched and found that full-time time salaries are almost equal to intern stipends(20k) . 

I started applying a while ago on linkedin, career , etc,  etc, but I have got no responses.

I really want myself to have a offer by the month end. or atmax in a 2-3 months. What should I do? Please suggest an action plan.

how to apply for jobs

Hi guys I'm a campus hire, 1 year experience. I want to switch to a different domain.
I see people switching from my company to much better offers but I can't really ask them because my managers may hear about it.
Do you guys apply to jobs via linkedin? Directly to company website? Via referrals? Are there jobs that aren't listed on company websites? 
Pls help a noob out, any guidance is GREATLY appreciated. I really want to switch careers asap.

How to make job switch?

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.

Laid off and preparing for interviews

Product Manager

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

With the present market situation, nowadays you don't even get an OA Link/Interview call even though applying with a referral, no wonder how good my portfolio is. On-campus placements are a bloodbath. Good knows how they shortlist candidates. Almost the same name in every list. Meanwhile, I discovered cold mailing. Saw some posts where they got internships via cold mailing. Need some good templates and tips for Cold mailing HRs, managers, and directors.

ShoutOut to Tech recruiters

Hi everyone , I graduated this year in May from an  IIT but from an earth science branch . I have around 1 year of experience as an intern in different companies, including as a Japanese AI company . In college, I have a very low GPA ( < 6.5), so on campus was practically impossible ( I did get an offer :) ) .In my final semester, I worked at a service based company based out of Germany as an intern, which hired indian devs ( you know why ).

So, I got an offer from them around 20 LPA( all base) remote. Culture is good, no micromanagement or odd working hours, and people are helpful. I work around 45 hours per week .But They have fried 4 dev in the last 3 months citing 'lack of ownership'. I tried to get an offer from other companies but couldn't find much success due to market conditions and branch .I have been working for around 5 months, managing a social app in react native and expo that was created when I was intern . I code and handle other tasks like creating tickets, scoping requirements, and reviewing intern code. I also work on Backend, Database, and a react based web app, too sometimes. 

I have a feeling that as the product is mvp, I am not working on scale, and nobody cares about optimization for all large scales or complex devops,design patterns, or even basic caching . Instead, we really on managed services like codebuild or fargate, which I do handle most of the time

I will ask for suggestions from experienced folks that what should I do in this case should I actively try for new role or put effort in my job. ( Company is encouraging new dev to learn new stuff different from the regular job , for me, it's caching for this quarter )

Thanks for your time

Suggestion for fresher

Hey guys. I’ve been searching for jobs on LinkedIn for a while now, there’s either no response or a template rejection. Does job search through LinkedIn work or not?

If not, please suggest other effective ways- considering the market now and the layoff volumes. Thank you!

Job search through LinkedIn - works or not?

Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Attended an interview for a startup where they said all was okay and agreed to rollout the offer letter and last minute told hiring freeze. This is for an entry level role. 

Cannot name the company as I can get identified. Fintech startup.  Their payscales in glassdoor were showing high base for entry level roles in Business Operations. 


How do we make sure that recruiter does not ghost us . What are the strategies we can use to get the offer. These days, every recruiter in first call itself asking about salary expectations.
