1. Connect with any top management person 
 2. If your surname matches or category or alum etc, things will be more easy 
 3. Ask for referral 
 4. Possible push from them 
 5. Follow up 
  
 It works.

Point 2: It may sound odd, but it's true.

Consultant

Tried and tested... General Category people should get benifits somewhere:)

Senior Consultant

1. Apply on the company career page.  
  It works*.  
    
  *Doesn't work if fresher or less than 2 yrs exp as no one wants them.   
  *Doesn't work for top companies whose portals are flooded with people begging for a job.  
    
  If 1 fails - 2. use referrals.  
    
  If 1 & 2 fail then either you suck or the market sucks or both suck

How do you guys approach any startup company or MNC for work? How do you find a job? Is there any secret sauce that you use?
PS- Please don't suggest using LinkedIn jobs or career pages, that is a very basic thing that everyone does.

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

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

Software Developer

A friend of mine is working at a leading financial services company with over 100k employees. 
He feels like he'd want to be part of something smaller, create more impact and help it grow rather than be just a part of the crowd.

Where should he start? How can he find the suitable people and jobs?

How does someone get into the startup culture?

Associate

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

How do you guys search for Jobs? What works for you? For eg I do easy Apply through LinkedIn but rarely get a call from recruiter

1. If your company is hiring, let us know if you can provide a referral or can help somehow. Be ready with a fake/temporary Email Id to accept applications/resume, if you want to.

2. If you know any other company hiring:
Would be better if you could provide the link to the job or company or its career page, it's ok if you only want to share the name.

3. If you know a stealth or very small startup hiring right now, either share someone's LinkedIn/Twitter profile whom we can reach out to or ask to DM. 

4. If you have recently interviewed at a company, try to share a bit about their expectations and interview experience.



Wherever possible, try to mention the tech stack and years of experience expected.

People who are already working in product based companies please give some suggestions which very few people know on how to get selected.

5. Recruiters, you know better than most of us, please help, ok ?

Wherever possible, try to mention the tech stack and years of experience expected.

The idea is to not just give a name, provide as much information you can to keep the thread clean and 'to the point'

Paytm is hiring but don't join even by mistake.

Software Engineer

Welcome to News Discussion's Private Community

Everyday I keep hearing people getting high salaries in obscure companies. Like some new startups/foreign companies with remote roles/ some private equity firms. 
Question is how do people discover these opportunities because sometimes 5hese companies don't even have a careers page...

How do you discover high paying companies?

A few people who are in advanced stages of the process and/or have offers from slice have been asking me whether it's a good idea to join.

My answer has always been consistent and I'm posting this so that people have more clarity.

Good folks are leaving in droves which is why they are trying to fill in some roles fast.

The company doesn't have a proper CTO, with engineering being managed by two people, one the head of analytics and data science being the 'people mananger' who is highly under-qualified for the job, and the second a toxic and borderline abusive character who is the 'chief architect'.

On top of that, there are some AHs from Bizops who'll do everything to blame you if things go wrong and steal credit if things are good, making your day worse rest of the time.

The critical Glassdoor reviews are totally true, and present points in an elaborate manner, while the few positive ones are clearly planted with 1-2 lines written for each.
Plus the company is suppressing many reviews with the help of community guidelines.

Your package might have a generous ESOP component, but it is bloated and the company is looking to raise the next round at a highly diminished valuation.

There are more things in life than a few lakhs of extra base pay, for your long term well being.

I'm speaking about it openly since I left the org for a better opportunity recently and I don't want people to suffer more.

Your mental health isn't worth a slightly higher base pay in slice

Slice is a known red flag. Stay away at all costs.

Product Manager

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

I have 3 years of experience in frontend. I usually look for jobs by creating profile on Naukri and expecting calls from recruiters. Also, I apply directly on company portals.

My question to the grapevine community is how should I find good companies?

What I usually do is search up great places to work list or top tech companies on G2. I also apply based on LinkedIn jobs / posts about openings and from Instahyre and Wellfound. Sometimes I do ask for referrals.

Is there any other ways to look up on good tech companies? What do other grapeviners do?

I'm currently working as DSE at Infosys from june 2022 ,i am willing to make a switch, but I'm getting almost no interview calls, only calls that i get are mostly from small startups. Can anyone suggest me on how to secure interviews

Getting no interview calls

Welcome to Product Managers's Private Community

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.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hi Founders Office/ Generalist roles
How do you convince companies of different industries of your work and abilities 
You may or may not have prior experience, and yet are able to crack the job

What are the secrets? And how can I implement them?

Interview tips

I am in a discussion with joining a firm with 50-100 employees and they have their client as Outcomes (which has 1k+ employees). Now I am reaching out to people on LinkedIn not able to get complete ideas about work/pay or anything. So how would you checkout for review/salary ranges in such cases of joining a small firms? TIA

How to get reviews about a small start up /smaller company if no reviews are found in ambition box or glass door?

I have applied for more than 300 jobs. And didn't get back any response. These are the jobs which I found on linkedin in which most of them have more than 200 applicants.

For context I'm a full stack developer with 2 years of experience currently working in a startup with a CTC of 7 LPA.

I tried cold emailing and messaging in linkedin.

I got two interviews after messaging directly to HR via LinkedIn.

And I'm targeting less popular startups with less competition.

Now my question is where can I find those companies
And what's the best way to reach out.

Also one final question,
I'm a single developer in my company and I'm handling the tech alone make technical disitions, design databases, architect projects, and manage deployments.
Can I point out this as a good thing? Will companies get impressed by this?

And how much salary can I expect?

How to find startups and get noticed by hiring managers or founders easily

Web Developer

So I applied for a SDE job at a startup and for the first time I got proper feedback from the HR.

They properly mentioned what kind of experience they are looking for and why they think I'm not a fit for the role.

Now I don't care if it was a human who provided the feedback or an AI tool, all that matters is they cared enough to put that effort and it will help me in improving my resume at least.

PS: I'm hiding the startup name because I don't want you guys to spam them, but if enough people ask for it, I might share in the comments.
