I think senior roles are more than the freshers one.  
 Apply, apply and apply. Use all available platform to apply like Linkedin, instahyre, cutshort, top hire etc. if you are applying >50 companies then I guess you would get 5-10 companies call for the interview process

Absolutely. Recently got hired in a MNC at 5yoe. 
 Law of large numbers works here too.

How to get hired as a Senior Software Engineer?- Grapevine

Hi everyone , i am currently working as 1yr exp dev working in startup which recently had taken series of layoffs . Though i am saved i now am trying my best to switch but sadly not getting response. Please suggest few strategies. I have already tried commons ones like cold mails , linkedin , naukri , insta hyre, recruiting agenices etc. . I apply a lot but dont recieve any response. Please suggest some ways

Need help on job switch from senior employees

Best ways to look for an opportunity in the software engineering field, linkedin and other job portals doesn't seem to work or the response rate is way too low. Kindly suggest.

Where to look?

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

Engineering Manager

I am currently working as a Senior Software Engineer in .Net.  How is the current job market ? Shall I wait for another quarter before switching ? 
P.S : 9 YOE

How the current job market ?

I am a senior software engineer with 6 + yoe mainly into backend (java and golang tech stack).

I am currently serving my notice period with no offer in hand.(my last day is April 30)

I have applied and given interviews to almost 12 companies and failed after clearing 2 or 3 rounds.

I feel that I am losing confidence in my skills when I face such rejection even though I shouldn't.

I feel like whatever answer I give during interviews is wrong and I constantly try to lookup the internet in the middle of interviews in fear of getting rejected.


Even though I know things very well I try to validate it and then mug up whatever is written on the internet and whenever a new question is asked which I haven't seen earlier where I would be required to think , i blank out.


This has never happened to me earlier.. I need some advice on how do I keep confidence in my skill and start solving things on my own.

Looking for advice

Backend Engineer

I am seeing LinkedIn posts everyday about how people are starting a new position in a different organisation. I've tried LinkedIn job posts, asking for referrals, trying less popular job portals, applying directly in career pages of companies, and changing my resume multiple times. But no luck. Even if the resume gets shortlisted now, there's no further action. 

I can see multiple people giving seminars on how to switch jobs but everyone has the same things to say.

Any suggestions?

How are you successfully switching jobs?

What has worked the most for you in getting your job application shortlisted?
Please share your ways cause I am literally STRUGGLING 

Currently I am trying below things

1. Regularly updating naukri (activity level is good but very few HRs directly contact.  Few send invites but ghost later on)

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 

About me : I have 3 YOE in data engineering working for a top banking client. Stack : PYSPARK, SQL, AWS S3, Hive, Hadoop, Linux scripting, python

Welcome to Ask Grapeviners's Private Community

So since I'm in my 4th year of my UG, I'm thinking of reaching out to the talent acquisition team of big companies directly asking for a role in product design. Is it a good idea? What else can I do?
