It's very hard to struggle for a job after completing MCA (masters in computer application) but still can't find a job can anyone help me- Grapevine

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

Title. I did my BCA from a local private University in Jaipur. My plan was to get a job but my parents forced me to get into MCA. I have not been enjoying my MCA preparation and my highest marks in mock test is 434. The thing is that even if I get into NITs for MCA then those who took job after BCA will have much higher experience than me. Also I would be dependent on my parents and I want to achieve financial independence.Recently on grapevine I saw a post of a guy who got into Google after bsc but he had to struggle a lot. In MCA entrance exams such as NIMCET maths section is mostly covered and it's not like that I don't enjoy maths. But studying it just to crack an Indian entrance exam is something that I don't enjoy. Please guys guide me.

Should I leave my MCA exam preparation and just double down on my skills and get a job.

Currently i am in my final year of BCA and I have one year with me to either get a job or internship or prepare for NIMCET (entrance for mca in NIT). My doubt is whether i should spare 3 years just for the brand value of NIT tag or gain experience in a job. In a ideal situation if a get a good package of 20 lpa after 3 years of MCA ,will i be able to match the same package in 3 years without masters. My skills are average,still working on it.

JOB VS MCA

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

Tl;dr: CV is getting rejected need suggestion around certification/portfolio and recent trend is preference given to Tier 1. 

Overall Experience 6 years 
Account Manager 5 year
PM(Designation Product Specialist) 1 year, internally transitioned after 2 years working as an AM.

CTC 10 Fixed - Highly Underpaid 

Took a pay cut to transition to product role, company policy states team change pay cut because a fresher in new team. 

Not good relationship with current manager because financial issue fucks up mental health which fucks up work as well. So appraisal out of the picture. 

So I am looking for a job,wherever I have applied my cv is getting rejected. I have checked the ATS score and it is >80% 

Have checked with people from multiple companies: zynga, cars24, nykka and the trend is tier 1 college students get preference. 

Cannot pursue MBA now because age is almost 28 and cannot afford the fees. 

Are there any Certifications/exams which can help here ? A portfolio of projects ? 

Someone mentioned ISB PM course as well but gone through reviews on Reddit and it’s not worth it as per them. 

The last resort is upraised.co Bootcamp. Is it worth it when it comes to job placement? 
 
Education background:  MCA from Open university.

I am a BCA graduate who passed out in 2023 from a private university in Jaipur.Just like any other BCA guy I started preparing for MCA entrance exams such as NIMCET but I am not enjoying it. Truth to be told I always enjoyed solving questions on leetcode as well as making some web dev projects. Even I had developed some kickass advanced level web dev projects and won a hackathon also. But from last year I have been not coding and I literally forgotten everything. I am not even enjoying my MCA exam preparation. Even though I am getting decent marks in mock tests but still I am now frustrated. Please help me guys what should I do next? I love to code. What I am thinking is that to take some distance MCA course. Give myself 6 months to upskill and take a job. What do you guys think about it?

I am not enjoying MCA entrance exams preparation

(1) How many conflicts have to face when finding a job in corporate without industry experience only holding a master degree in computer science with 9-10 months of experience as assistant professor.

(2) Totally inexperienced person in this sector.  Plus majorly I have an interest in data science from graduation. In contrast due to medical issues I have been on the bedrest for 6 months. Struggling with where to start where to look.


Any suggestions or guidance or any comments that can be helpful, will be more prestigious.

Are MCAs in general worth it after BCA? 

Specifically are MCAs from NITs worth it? Do they get same packages as that of CSE students? What is the average MCA package at NITs?

I currently have a job (>1 yr industry exp) I am learning a lot on the job (tech and non-tech). My TL and managers are happy w me in general. I'm also learning other stuff (MERN stack) at the moment.

I've been contemplating about this for a while.

I. Factors that personally discourage me from pursuing an MCA:

a. MCA is usually 2 years (3 years at NITs)
b. Syllabus is more or less the same when compared to BCA. A few extra courses/electives maybe added.
c. Opportunity cost - I will be missing out on 2 or 3 years of salaried income.
d. How would the ROI (return on investment) look like?
f. I'll have to prepare for entrance exams (NITs) along with my job.
e. I may be able to match college placement packages by being in the industry for 2-3 years. Afaik average package is 4-8 LPA after MCA at non-NIT colleges.

II. Factors that make me want to pursue an MCA:

a. My extended family and relatives will shut up. (No pressure as such from my parents)
b. Might look good on resume to future employers.
c. I may not be able to match the college placement packages despite being in the industry for 2-3 years (depends on my personal commitment to skilling up and the market ofc)

Any inputs would highly be appreciated and would help me analyse better! 

Thanks :)

Is MCAs from NITs worth it after BCA or would relevant skills make up for it in the industry?

Analyst

I want to share my experience as a fresher at Accenture, my first company from a college placement. The first six months were fine, but then I faced severe mental harassment from my supervisor and manager. She constantly criticized my work and gave negative feedback, causing me immense stress. I often skipped meals and worked weekends to improve, but nothing helped.

Despite reporting the issue and requesting a supervisor change or a different track, my requests were ignored. The harassment worsened, affecting my physical health, and I couldn't eat or sleep properly. My manager controlled trivial aspects like where to sit and whom to talk to, making the situation unbearable. I was even forced to switch from a developer role to a tester, despite being trained as a developer.

The final straw was being placed on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) without a clear reason, with the same harassing individuals assessing me. I only had 1.9 years of experience then. I reported the mental harassment to HR and resigned due to deteriorating health, panic attacks, and weight loss. Despite having no other job offer, I couldn't continue. Even during my notice period, I was forced to complete PIP assignments, which led to suicidal thoughts and further health issues.

Now, I am jobless, feeling helpless and frustrated. With less than 2 of experience, I struggle to find offers in a down IT market and don't know what to do next.

I'm looking for a job Hunt at MNC

When i was in college i wanted to build my own company/product. Thought of many ideas and tried to build something. None of them worked and it affected my studies so I had to quit just to clear my exams.

After college I took placements in a WITCH like company where I got put into data entry/operations job after clearing difficult coding interviews (kismat kharab?). 
Somehow learnt new technologies on the side and managed to switch to a development role at a lower salary in a startup.

After 3 years Worked hard on DSA and (barely) managed to get a good offer with above average pay. But the company is not stable anymore and may layoff at any time. 
Right now struggling to learn enough DSA to crack any company.
Now I am almost 30, i have no hobbies,no talents, no relationships just trying to have a stable career.

I see people everywhere doing so many things at once. How do they manage to do this.
They are working at FAANG and managing businesses at the same time, have a bunch of friends.
What am I doing wrong?

Hey everyone, I am a Junior FE Dev (from my prev work title coz my exp is 1YoE). Have been working extensively on React.JS and Redux. My previous company was great. I was loving it. Sadly a few months ago, I was laid off. I still don't know the reason behind why I was one of the laid off people. Anyway, I moved on from that depression and started searching for a new job from last month. Made it to final rounds in pretty much every interview I sat for. But then got rejected in final round for crazy reasons including "we currently don't have funds to hire you". One of them even said they are on hiring freeze, literally in the final round 🥲. 

Haven't been able to get a job anywhere. I don't know if my skills aren't enough to be hired or is it something else. "What's hot in FE right now ? Like what skills can fetch me a job ?" - Started asking this myself as well as some of my good friends, but they say don't learn skills for getting job, learn it for yourself. Though it's true, I don't have much savings to support myself for atleast a month. So, I have to get into a job to keep myself from going bonkers under the financial crunch that I can clearly see ahead of myself if I stay unemployed in the next 20 days.

Yes, the tech market is in its winter season. I understand that, but I still see there are so many openings in the market for ppl with 1YoE like me and skillset that matches mine, yet I never hear back from them or just get rejected in final rounds 😕.

I'm absolutely clueless on what to do right now. Any suggestions would be really helpful.

Finding it very hard to get a job 😶

Long post ahead!!!


Its been around a year since I've started working in a service based company as a Frontend dev, WLB, compensation and all is good based on I've just started.
During this year of working I do not feel like I've done anything, our team is working on a product for past 2-3 year and its nearing the completion. My role was mostly to cordinate with testing team and solve frontend bugs and minor addition to the project (which was mostly copy pasting), even doing these minor task took me some time initially and I still have to take help from seniors time to time. 
I got kinda bored with all the repetitive task and I requested my manager to assign me to other development happening within team, he agreed and assigned me some different task but I cant seem to understand anything here, 
I get stuck in the most basic things, I feel stupid when I am not able to come up with easy solutions.

I am seeing other engineers learning new tech stacks in a small amount of time and getting hold of it while i am not able to understand things in my own tech stack.

I've recently gotten a appraisal as well(my company is quite good and gives it to everyone) and I feel like I don't deserve a bit of it.

 I am a 2023 graduate , I did MCA because that was the only good option I could see for myself(mostly cz of money) at that time earlier to that I did a bachelor's (Non CS) without gaining any knowledge of anything.
My basics are not that good, In college my only focus was to get a job so I did DSA and some front-end development using ReactJS(projects mostly code along with ytube) to be able to grab a good placement.

Is software engineering not for me? If no, then how do I overcome this, i don't wanna be a mediocre.

Am I a bad engineer?

Hello everyone.

Now I have in total experience of 5 years.
Please let me know my scope in today's corporate world.

It's very hard to struggle for a job after completing MCA (masters in computer application) but still can't find a job can anyone help me
