Job Search

I am a '21 graduate from a Tier 1 college (old IIT) and have had short stints as product manager at a couple of startups. About a year back, I decided to startup but after a few months, realized that startup idea wasn't worth pursuing. Researched around a few startup ideas and finally landed upon a good one in D2C space. But the problem is financing. I don't have much saving and friends / family network wouldn't be able to finance this. I really want to pursue this idea but finance is becoming a hindrance. So started looking for job opportunities about 3 months back. I have been exploring work opportunities in product / founder office / EIR roles or other generalist role. Job hunt process has been frustrating to say the least. Getting very few calls. In most cases, people are ghosting after couple of rounds of interview or assignment. In some cases, after getting through 2-3 rounds, I got to know that opening has been closed temporarily. Most HRs don't even have the decency to give feedback. I don't intend to work in job for long anyway. As soon as I have the job, I plan to start working on my business idea and quit as soon as I have enough financial leeway. How should I go about job hunt process? I have been trying to connect with folks on LinkedIn in whose company job openings are there. Apart from this, I have been connecting with founders from recently funded startups. Naukri / Instahyre and IIM Jobs are other portals I have been looking on. Anything I should do differently here? Looking forward to hearing your suggestions / experience.

I am starting a new startup and need to hire a couple of full stack developers on roll. Unfortunately I don’t have an in into a developer network and none of friend circles have any developers so I have to go the traditional hiring route. Where all should I post the job listing for best results?

Hi guys! I recently got laid off from my company. It was a v early strage startup. Need help navigating the job hunting process. I've been applying to a lot of companies but not getting any calls. 🥲 would really appreciate if someone who is/was in the same situation can suggest tips on how to atleast get to interview round 1.

Hi grapes, What's the best way to apply for jobs. LinkedIn, company portal or websites such as Naukri, indeed, TopHire etc. Folks who got multiple interview calls, can you share how you utilised all these to get there! Will cold mailing managers or HRs in linkedIn work? It feels clueless at times as I am not getting interview calls at all. Will mass apply AI tools found fruitful for anyone. All insights are appreciated. TIA

Hey All, I am actively looking out for better offers at the moment. What are some companies hiring in Gurgaon, preferably frontend/fullstack roles? My tech stack - Javascript, React, Node, Express, Mongo YOE - 2.9

Whoever is looking for a change in Product, do you guys have preferred platforms apart from the careersites and Linkedin that generally give you good traction from recruiters? Doing this for a survey to understand what channel would be more effective.

Curious to hear how Grapeviners go about finding and profiling jobs, companies and roles. Which sites do you visit, are there any newsletters to follow, tips to find roles people could be interested to grow into?
