I know in job switch rejection is a part of the process but sometimes when you have high hopes for a company, which you want to join and you get rejected in the last round or in between rounds in that situation it feels very bad and it becomes very difficult to keep your momentum for a while and it affects your performance in other interviews and in your current company work also.
Can you guys share your experience in these situations and how to handle these situations ?

How to keep your motivation high in your job switch journey ?- Grapevine

Hello grapeviners. 

I was recently interviewing at a big MNC and gave 5 rounds of interviews. (4 Tech, 1 Managerial). I did fairly well in the interviews (according to me).
Got rejected in the end and received no feedback... Just a generic rejection mail.

How do you guys keep up with failures like these?
Whenever I give interviews at a good company and perform well, I tend to imagine myself as a future employee in that company and how my life would be after joining there... and it really breaks my heart when I get rejected. This happened to me few times before as well and I still have no idea how to move on from feelings like these.

Really interested to know what do you folks do in situations like these... How do you calm yourself down?

How do you find motivation to switch?

Welcome to Consulting's Private Community

I have recently applied for 5 different companies, and it's the very first time I'm going to be switching. Any tips for how I should go about negotiating in interviews and what happens if I'm not happy with the compensation they are offering. Should I still get the offer letter and keep it with me to ask for higher than what the first company offered? 

Any general tips will help. Thanks.

Welcome to Data Scientists's Private Community

I am an ML engineer working in a startup.

My current situation is horrible,I am constantly stressed about getting laid-off(My performance is good,I got promoted a month ago). I came to know that my company will probably lay people off this month,since they are unable to meet targets.

Now,I got rejected in four interviews.
There is a lot to learn and revise.
Stats and probability.
Machine learning algos.
Deep learning architectures(got rejected because I was unable to explain the architecture of a complex model in detail).
DSA(got rejected twice in this round).
SQL (got rejected once since I was unable to solve the SQL problem).
ML ops(some recruiters ask this as well).

With the added pressure of getting laid off,my whole life is turned upside down.I am unable to focus.
Every meeting or discussion I attend I feel like people are evaluating me.( This was not the case before).
I don't know what to do.
It would really help,if you guys share your interview experiences below.

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?

Trying for job switch but unable to get any calls or interviews. What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hi Grpeviners, I've given so many interviews. Qualified technical rounds for many but have been ghosted several times. Like the HR stops receiving my calls or they say at the end that sorry we want someone to join within 45 days. Sometimes they say, sorry we got some candidate from our organization and list is never ending. I feel very disheartened due to this ongoing scenario. Why is this happening to me, what should I improve in myself? Am I out of budget, notice period? Please help!

Technical Lead

Currently I’m a software engineer in corporate. But now my company has full demotivated environment and I’m not able to work or deliver my tasks.
I’m applying for other companies also . But don’t even get interviews scheduled.

What should i do?
Should i go for govt jobs also?
Should i resign first then decide?
Should i continue working ?
Should i think about career switching?

My brain itself is not braining , and filled with such thoughts.

What to do?

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.

Why do companies ghost after interviews?

My contract was terminated last month citing restructuring.
Honestly, I saw it coming but wasn't expecting it would hit like this

I tried keeping my mind distracted, but now it has started to sink

I live with parents and they aren't saying anything (they were feeding me before and still are, no change for them)

I have had thoughts of ending all this, but do not have the courage. What if it ends halfway and I am redundant my whole life?

Credit card bills are coming through now and being 42% of my ex-salary wasn't something I was prepared for. I thought I was a sane spender.

How did you tackle being laid off?

Keep looking around, apply and eventually you're bound to get a good job I promise you. Just treat it as a numbers game. Ask your parents help with the credit card bills if you don't have enough corpus, there is no shame in that. You can give the money back to them when you're in a better position. 
  
 You're a nice person from what I know of you in this platform, you got this sis! Ending it all is not a good option for the people who care about you, and you're probably gonna look back later and smile and be glad for making it through

Application Analyst

I am a 2023 graduate and I have joined the company in 2022 as Software Development Intern. I have completed my internship and working as a full time. The environment of the company is very toxic and there is too much politics (even in getting user stories).
I want to switch company so badly, but i don't know why I am not getting interview calls and revert back from any company.
I daily apply for atleast 2-3 companies, I have good profile on leetcode, good projects.

Can someone please guide me what should I do to make a switch.

What should I do?

Just got a decent offer, considering a switch. 
Not sure how to approach manager (also co-founder) with this news. 

Context: 
1. Org has no clear set of rules/policies, but I heard notice period is usually 1 month. My joining date is 1.5 months from now. 

2. Team is in a chaotic state. 1-2 folks were fired, no replacements have been hired. 1 person is on a sabbatical. Worried manager won't take news positively. 

3. Want to leave on good terms, this is my first job, so not really aware of how to have these conversations.

What would be the right time to switch jobs in tech companies this year?

Job switch

Customer Success

1. Never compromise on ds/algo practice and design. You should get time every week for this.
2. Never trust any company and don't settle
3. Company can replace you anytime. HR just need to float job and hundreds of applicant will apply whereas if you need to find a job you first have to grind LC and design and then you will get ready. This makes a uneven situation.
4. You are not replaceable for your family, friends and loved ones

Benefits of working in toxic or too much work environment
1. Learning
2. A little better payscale
3. Close peer group of colleague 

Cons 
1. You won't get time for practice your interview skills so you would have hard time cracking interviews
2. High pressure can leads to high stress that can lead to less growth in long run and burn out. Once you burn out, your Employer attitude may change
3. You would not have time for your friends and family. You may even lose your social circle. Whereas the colleague group that you would form would start to fade away once you leave that place.
4. It would form a unbalanced relationship where you are more dependent on your Employer and won't be able to do much even if you get less increment or other issues
5. You would not have time for investment or growing your wealth. Your long term wealth is not how much you earn it is how much you have(savings + growth on saving)

What to do if you feel you join such company
- find opportunities and get out in initial days or probation period. You can wipe out that experience from your resume
- Contact the companies you had offer from and ask them to reconsider if they can

What to do if you are stuck in such company
- do a little less work and start preparing. Once you are little confidence start doing lesser work and look for opportunities. At this point in time you don't have to fear them much. Firing is pretty common now 
- Be aware of your rights in worst case as per employment agreement

Way to survive in industry

Software Architect

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?

Finding difficult to clear interviews

I am just 1.5 years old into my current company and the growth seems to be slow here.Hence wondering if I can look outside in the market for some new opportunities.

Just an anxiety: What should I answer if the HR asks me about the frequent switches?

I always get stuck on this question ( ofcourse I do it for quick growth) but how can I sugarcoat to justify this?

Please comment and share your thoughts.
