Need help on job switch from senior employees

I am a senior software engineer with 6 + yoe mainly into backend (java and golang tech stack).

I am currently serving my notice period with no offer in hand.(my last day is April 30)

I have applied and given interviews to almost 12 companies and failed after clearing 2 or 3 rounds.

I feel that I am losing confidence in my skills when I face such rejection even though I shouldn't.

I feel like whatever answer I give during interviews is wrong and I constantly try to lookup the internet in the middle of interviews in fear of getting rejected.


Even though I know things very well I try to validate it and then mug up whatever is written on the internet and whenever a new question is asked which I haven't seen earlier where I would be required to think , i blank out.


This has never happened to me earlier.. I need some advice on how do I keep confidence in my skill and start solving things on my own.

Looking for advice

Yoe: 2.5

Will Indian startups be willing to hire for this much base in current market? If yes, will the work life balance be absolute shit?

I’m currently working at a startup, want to switch
Please help a fellow SWE. Thanks 🙏

Software Developer

Hi, 

I'm a Senior Site Reliability Engineer and a tech geek - looking for a career switch. Currently located in NCR region - working for one of the top Indian Unicorns, making 1.2Cr+ every year in salary+stocks. Leaning more towards getting a remote job and get decent WLB. Please let me know if there are really good teams doing ground breaking work OR solving for one of a kind scale challenge at their company in SRE Domain - I'd like to join.

PS: Is there a community within grapevine where SREs hang out? I happen to see very less SRE specific posts in general. Ex: I'd want to know how's SRE at say - Disney, Akamai, CRED, PhonePe, Swiggy, Zomato, Google, Rippling, etc - but couldn't find any good hits.

Looking for a SDE-1 job

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hey guys, I'm stuck in an MNC currently without any real world project for almost half an year now. I've been building projects on my own and looking for a switch. Since, situation in the market is a little tight, I'm hardly finding any non internship opportunities for freshers. Kindly let me know of any sources or any suggestions on how to move on from here. Seeing my friends getting fired from FAANG co. and still not get any other offer makes me more disheartened. Please help.

Is anyone hiring freshers(2022 grad)?

Hey everyone,

Team Lead

Recently received 5 rejections from FMCG and Retail Companies, for roles where I am a good fit and responsibilities which I am already handling in my current role and company. And all 5 of them gave the same reason, that I lack experience for entry level executive roles in marketing? Even though I am about to complete 2.5 years in the industry. I am really frustrated.

Am just sick of hearing 'We are looking for more experienced candidate'

Hi Grapeviners, I have ten years of work ex in performance marketing and CRM. I started job search actively from Feb 15 this year and landed first interview today. 

How bad is the market out there. I usually get hired with in 30 job applications, also I apply to the role only if 70% and above role match with my previous experience also use referrals when available.

Also please roast my resume https://stonedmind.tiiny.site/ have redacted wherever necessary to stay anonymous as possible. For the first time in my career I have a doubt that my resume might not be upto the mark

Please let me know your views in the comments. Any help is appreciated.

To land 1 interview it took 60 job applications

Being a tier 3 college grad, It took me 700 applications to get 25 shortlists, and only 7 interview calls. Converted all of them. 
  
 Sometimes you’re just not allowed to participate in the race 🙂
