The job market is down for freshers, where can he search for jobs? Any suggestions will help?

Is there any opportunity for a fresher who is pursuing a data analyst course from Coding Ninjas, with a 4 yr gap?

Software Developer

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I'm a 3rd year student looking for internship opportunities in December. I'm looking for potential full stack roles. I tend to work on scalable backend stuff and on the frontend side, I've worked on decent projects (mostly integrating ml models with a frontend). 

The thing is, I'm confused right now. I feel like it's better to start working in a startup as I don't have practical industry experience. My main issue right now is not knowing how to find startups or how to email them, what to include in the email and so on. I'm completely blank and new to applying for jobs and I'm looking for some input here on how to approach this.

Tips on finding startups for internship

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Hi everyone, hope everyone is fine and doing good.

I got laid off in March and since then I have been actively applying but not able to even get interviews. I just don't understand what to do now and i am not in a good state of mind.

Any suggestions, anyone ?

Job search

So basically like every time I see a job vacancy I do apply for it.. But I'm not sure why I never get any calls back Or mails and these days I only see vacancies where they want only experienced people like more than 5 or 10.. I mean...where am I going wrong in this job hunt... I'm having 2 yrs of exp where I have wasted 1 yr being in bench so I could say I didn't get a lot of insight for my yrs of exp.... It sucks tho.... 😢 where should I start now what should I do? Completely blank...

Suggestions to find Startup jobs

Investor

I am a fresher 2023 graduate and have been doing this (applying for jobs) for almost a year, everyone said you have to do internships as it is necessary so did 2 internships one for a year and another for 6 months but apparently no one counts internships as experience even jobs that had 1-3 yoe as requirement and now everyone's hiring 2024 grads as freshers (I tried to look for another internship but there were none during the time of placements).

I am now tired of this field, many full stack devs don't know shit outside Javascript world and many of them can't even use tools like git properly and are so cocky of themselves. 

Saw an SDE on twitter who apparently has 6 years of experience, doesn't even know how to configure multiple SSH and says managing multiple ssh is a downside. A women dev (cause in India you have engineers and female engineers apparently) doesn't know about sidebar cache and calls it a bug and she's in google. and If I try to roast these people with my real name there's a whole cabal of Banglorians who will grab their macbooks inside third wave coffee and start tweeting against me after aggressively drinking their Chocolate mocha frappe.

Just go into any random tech twitter space no one seems to be talking about tech it's always about DSA, interviews, LIFE IN BANGLORE, which cafe they visited.

I let myself believe tech was my passion and worked hard  for but Indian techies and companies are worst, this generation thinks they are better than their predecessor but follow the same politics everywhere even when it comes to Tech communities (who tf does politics in a community that produces open source code wtf).

They talk about networking and creating a community all the time but can't even respond to linkedin cold dm and blame the sender by nitpicking about the format 👏👏 and then they'll go on post the screenshot and rant how it's the sender fault to even try to network with them with a message that isn't written from their own blood.

Tech rant

Bangalore tech scene is weird man. I feel even the auto driver knows how to code and the third wave barista is definitely doing leetcode because that coffee & sandwich clearly don't take 15 minutes to make

Founder

I am thinking of leaving my current job and focus on myself, getting to know myself better etc. Currently I have enough money saved for my expenses for next 6-8 months. 
   Everyone I have asked about this say don't leave your job if you don't have another lined up, in this tech winter. I understand their view point. It aligns with what my parents think as well.

Is there anyone who has had done this in the past? Do you recommend this route? Are the consequences far too severe? Does anyone have a different opinion from one stated above?

Anyone ever left job without having another job lying around for their mental peace?

I'm in the same boat, on the verge of quitting, and will most probably take the leap next month.  
 Thanks for the thread. A lot of insights. It has made me confident that I'm not doing anything stupid.

Consultant

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

I am keen on working with an early-age (Series-A/ seed) startup. Dont even know where to start looking. Dont want to advertise on Linkedin. Any suggestions?

Job Search

Looking for a job change

Hi everyone , its been 1 month since i hv started my job search . I hv taken refs also but nothing is happening neither i am getting calls nor test links. My exp is 2+ my company is a series f startup and has recently laid off and i am completely tensed . Plz suggest  some advice . I am a backend engineer. I hv tried to reach out recruiting firms but even they are not replying.

Job hunt need advice

I am a data engineer with 2 years experience in python, SQL, AWS, spark stack. I am looking for a switch and my priority is to get into startup as I get to learn a lot, atleast that's what I believe.
I am not sure though how to get there. I am applying on naukri and LinkedIn, and I am unable to find startups to apply to. I can only see midsize businesses or big corporations. I don't know anyone who works for a startup, and don't know how to network with those folks specifically. It will be great if you people can provide guidance for networking and searching job in startup

How to get a job in startup?

I work at Paytm and rumours are that 35 percent of workforce is going to be fired by may end. I'm definitely in the bottom 35 percent of my team as I'm in a new team and still learning the product. Even my team lead is saying that he will be fired. Now I'm confused, whether to work more or just completely stop caring about work. 

I need a change. Can anyone provide leads for a backend engineer who works primarily on MERN stack and familiar with Java Springboot stack. I'm hard working and good at Leetcode style algorithmic questions

Layoff Paranoia is ruining my life

How can one specifically target startups and succeed? While many pursue top MNCs or MAANG, getting entry can be challenging. I am keen on working with small startups. Has anyone experienced working in startups in Bengaluru or other locations where both good pay and learning opportunities are available? In terms of job search, is LinkedIn/Naukri or referrals more effective? When preparing for interviews, should one focus more on DSA rounds or development skills? What are the pors & cons or tips? Plz share your insights. Thanks

Working in a start-up

I work at a product startup and it's been 1yr and 3 months now. It is my first job. We are an engineering group of 5 including the CTO. After 5 months I joined, we stopped our B2B product and started working on a B2C product which is very promising. But since last 6-7 months we are not getting our salaries and I don't know what to do. It's been hard finding a new job because most of them demand more than 2,3 years of experience.
I would like to work on startups again for the intense learning atmosphere they provide. Can someone help

Trying to switch job. Current startup hasn't paid salaries for 6-7 months

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

Hi 
I'm a 2024 fresher B.E in ECE
I'm on the lookout for a startup where I can gain hands-on experience, contribute meaningfully, and grow alongside a passionate team
If you know of any startups or teams that are hiring and are open to mentoring and helping new talent grow, I’d love to hear about them. Thanks!

Any opportunity for freshers in starups?

How hard is it for a founder to get a new job if their startup fails? Hard as in working a 9-5 job as compared to leading a popular company previously. Do you think the interviews judge them or their ego lets them work?
