Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I am a 2024 graduate and I got an oncampus placement in media.net in December 2023 and initially my date of joining was july 2024.

A month ago I got call from there HR that my joining date is postponed to August 2024.

Now today , they call us and inform that the date of joining is further postponed to 6th Jaunuary 2025 . 

What are we supposed to do in this scenario?

If anyone has any openings please let me know.

Media.Net postponed joining dates for freshers from july 2024 to jaunuary 2025.

media.net (DirectI group) has postponed the joining of product managers hired from campus placements of top BSchools of India, IIM ABCL ISB XLRI etc. No specific timeline has been provided, HR said “joining is postponed”, that’s it. 

Insider news is that layoffs are happening at media.net and employees haven’t been given any appraisals this year. 
They are also forcing work from office on their employees so that they resign by themselves. 

also, I read a news article related to Ad Fraud done by media.net on Forbes Website.

2023 grad. Was selected in a company during on campus placement but they have delayed joining till 2024 stating business requirements and a dearth of projects. Came to know that they have again come for campus placements to hire 2024 grads from my college. What is this recruitment strategy? Will I get joining date ever?

Hi everyone,I got an on-campus offer from Publicis Sapient last year and received my letter of intent in May. Does anyone know when the joining date for the 2024 batch might be? Also, if any seniors from the 2023 batch could share when they joined last year, it would be helpful.

Hi everyone! 
I am a fresher and had a full time offer from Byju's and I had joining on 16th June which got deferred to 2nd August. Today I got another mail and it is further deferred to January 2024.
I don't have any other offer right now and I tried texting HRs on LinkedIn but no response. I used to be an active CP coder in college days. Any referral help/advice is appreciated.
Thank you!

They have deferred the dates to God knows which date by estimating it to the last quarter of the year .
The offer letter was sent the previous year a day after the interviews after 1 year they are letting us know about the date being deferred .
They should have informed us earlier now there's no chance to sit back in placements.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I was graduated in August of '22. I was placed in 3 companies during the campus placement drive, out of which one is an MNC and the other two are, let's say pretty famous in India.  But due to bad decision making and other factors I decided to go with the MNC. It's been a while now yet there is no information from the company. The last mail I received was in the month of November, which is why I am afraid now. Are there any internships or job openings I can apply for?

I'm an non IT candidate with decent skills in programming. Are there any courses I can do meanwhile?

Thanks in advance.

What to do?

Heard from a junior today that one of the consulting firms is delaying their joining from August to January 
This is in line with what most other firms have done as well (MBB). 

I saw the email as well, and the lack of any empathy was alarming. It literally said "We are delaying your joining from to Jan because of changes in training plan" and that we feel this is in your best interests.

I get that business would be tough, there are probably not as many cases right now, and hence they are doing this.

A) It is screwed up to break commitments for your joining date, just because you don't see as much demand around the period. These students are literally pumped about their first job, and to start off like this is just sad
B) At least if you are doing the above, have the courtesy to explain the proper financial reason behind it

Overall, really sad to see what graduates this year are having to go through, it's just random.

I have done a 6M internship at Amazon but Amazon didn't convert any single 6M intern to full time employee even got a hire call from the manager. But Amazon has given the ppo to 2024 grad. Now Companies has started hiring only 2024 grad.

No one giving the shit about my internship. Companies/startups are not considering that as experience, then why they are hiring intern?

I applied to many companies even with referrals but  none of them sent me a single test link. Big tech giants are done hiring with 2023 grads. Some are hiring but only to female candidates.

Indian startups are the worst. they just wanted a guy who has all the knowledge according to their business model, doesn't matter how skilled you are.
Anyone can learn new things in small period of time but Indian startups... I don't know what they are thinking. In such things mnc is good atleast they are not doing such shitty things to fresher.

If I have done 6M internship at Amazon and got the hiring decision from manager, this doesn't imply that I have capabilities to work as a Developer? If anyone is able to deliver tasks in a company like Amazon where almost everything is new on which an intern is about to work then I don't think he will not be able to work in any other organisation.

Is there any hope for 2023 fresher

Welcome to Indian Startups's Private Community

Hi!
So I have resigned from my company as I am pivoting towards Law and joining Law School. 
My program starts in first week of July. However my contract states 90 days of notice period. 

They have agreed to relieve me before my university joining date however they are asking for notice period advance recovery amount i.e equivalent gross salary for the days of notice period not served

I cannot move my date of joining as I have to join on campus by first week in July.

The Notice Period Recovery amount is a significant amount. 

Also since I am pivoting in a new career, my hypothesis here is that I do not require experience or relieving letter

How do I navigate through this maze? 
Anyone who has experienced similar issues and can suggest ways to negotiate and go about it? 

Thanks

So, I completed my graduation in 2023 with a bachelor's in technology. I was placed in Capgemini on campus in September 2022. Have a letter of intent with me. Around  200 people  got placed. And from December-January 2024, my batchmates have started getting onboarding mail. It's just that i don't  want to wait any longer since i have given my most of the time waiting.  I would appreciate it if you guys share some 3rd party recruitment companies in IT field such as software engineering role and full stack developer roles.

Fynd delayed joining for new grads by jan 2024.anyone currently hiring freshers?

Fynd delayed joining for new grads

So, today was my first day in corporate. Joined a company that i hate the most, the government job company. During the induction itself, I experienced shitty HR (including all their internal depts) policies and their shitty rules. They literally told new joiners that they are going to force associates to take up the project, no matter what tech stack you want to work in! what domain do you want to work in! 

Now, you may ask why did i join them in the first place? Well, the current job market for freshers is just too bad! Graduated in may 2023, spent past 4 months trying to get an interview, but never landed any (when applied with referrals HR said they want 4+ YoE, and also the struggle to get referral. got 2 replies on an avg per 40 DMs (<500 followers) per company, that too after expiry.) In the past 1.5 years, I've cracked OAs and tech rounds of fintech like phonepe and juspay, but final rounds went south due to ghosting and a bit of politics from the college side (i know this because I had some friends working for placement officer and also i confronted that officer). Hence, 4 jobless months led me to join this organization.

Please help me structure plan to get a good offer and leave this organization in 4 months.

Joined a company I hate the most

My on campus job offer got deferred to 2024 with no exact month or date given. I was interning at a company and now am planning to join as FTE here till that job arrives. The off campus offer is ok ok, I do not enjoy it but am doing it to prevent resume gap and earn some money.

I have plan to switch to the on campus job in 2024 when it arrives by resigning at the current company. I am worried if it will create any problem? Can the on campus job offer be revoked? Any issue with the pf account transfer? 

Sitting idle and waiting for next year does not seem sensible to me. Please let me know your thoughts.
