Give me any advice on how I could come out of this loop. 

I have experience in devops+ IaC and python and decent know how of backend .

Seniors of Grapevine what advice would you give to a 1 yoe  to find a job ?- Grapevine

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

Backend Engineer

Hey everyone on Grapevine! 👋

So, I've been tweaking my resume lately and I'd really appreciate some fresh eyes on it. I'm all about that backend development life, especially in Java and Spring Boot. If you've got any tips or tricks to make my resume pop, I'm all ears! 🚀

And hey, while we're at it, if you happen to know of any junior openings in your company, I'd love to hear about them. A referral from a fellow dev would be a total game-changer for me! 🌟

Check out the screenshot of my resume below and hit me up with your thoughts. Let's make magic happen! â¨

Thanks a bunch, folks! 🙌

Software Developer

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?

Job Search

I recently got laid off due to restructuring in the company.

I have 6 months of internship and 6 months of full time experience in the same company.

Mostly looking for backend developer jobs in Java and Spring. Since I worked on this stack. 

since it was my first job that too campus placement, I have some noob questions about the job switch 

- Can I find a good paying job as a fresher java developer ? (my previous base was 14LPA)

- How should I go about applying. which sites or methods to use 

- what is the order of importance in (refral, resume, cold mailing, LinkedIn, direct applying on career site)

If you have any openings or can refer for a junior or associate Software engineer position. Please drop a comment.

[Laid off] looking for a fresher backend job

Hello Folks,
So recently I came across a post on grapevine where a guy from XYZ company got laid off and he posted that he just got laid off and looking for job, That's it and nothing else and this post got so much engagement like people are commenting about open roles in their company, some are referring him and some are giving suggestions and all. Now few days ago I also wrote a post that I am graduating in 2024 and how I have 1.5 years of production grade internship experience and does not have full time offer but my post hardly received any traction and all I got was 2 comment where one guy asked for my stipend and another told that I should not aim for job paying lower than 1 lakh per month, this and that. 

So why people are not helping new graduates but are helping the laid off people, I have seen this on all platform like linkedin twitter, what's the reason for this?

Fresh graduates vs laid off guys.

Hi folks,

I got laid off today from a YC-backed startup (W23) citing a shift in product focus. Was part of the core team since Oct '21, initially as an intern then later converted to FTE in '22. Got a decent (30%+) increment this year. I was leading the mobile platform but currently, I'm on a notice period. CTO is supportive and helping me via their network.

I'm a recent graduate and this is my first time experiencing a layoff. What should I do now? What things should I keep in mind looking for the next opportunity? 

Also, if you are hiring and looking for a full-stack engineer, do reach out via https://t.me/GrimBeard75

Analyst 

I am an SE, with only 1 Yoe. 

I joined with 15 other freshers. Work is good, people are nice. But things are easy. Among all new hires and experienced folks, I am alr leading team of 4 to manage an entire micro-service which is core to business and brings in good bucks which I believe is a success for me.

It has become a normal thing that senior folks involve me in discussion for matters related to this service.

General feedback has been, that I am doing good and have good potential. However, I am not leaning much in terms of tech or anything exciting at all.

I am looking for a start-up where I can make contributions which have visible impact, work is challenging and I am pushed to boundary.


People at Grapevine, Is there a role where these expectations are met and I can make an impact?

Should I apply at Grapevine?

Hello, all i have a gap of  6 months, will it affect me to find jobs as i carry 1.5 year of experience causing me a lot of diffculties while getting shortlisted ? What should i do , feeling stressed ? 
I need your advice and if there is any opportunity for me i am open up for that, my tech tack is frontend development with using react, redux, vue js.

Seniors of Grapevine what advice would you give to a 1 yoe to find a job ?
