This post is to help those affected by layoffs - we can refer them in our respective companies.

Please post your company and job title and if you're willing to refer.

My startup doesn't have open positions anymore. If anyone's interested in joining startups, | got around 10 interviews through JunoHQ (Google it for the application link), and 2 gave me offer out of which I chose the more stable one for obvious reasons.

Welcome to Confessions's Private Community

Forgive me my Sins

In 2017, after graduating, I joined a big IT corporate as an Associate Consultant (Engineer). My start date was delayed by six months, and four months in, I was benched with half my already very low pay.

Money was tight with rent and other expenses. My family expected me to start investing in jewellery and buying land.

I was new to Bangalore and wanted more money to visit bars and expensive restaurants every weekend. Wanted to buy a bike with good gear. Along the dream to have a girl riding behind me. Sab Aukat ke bahar.

As one does, I started looking out into startups. The problem - 0 relevant work ex.

So here it goes,
I had interned at a startup in college and knew what their documents looked like. Filled the 6 empty months in my CV with a job as a “SDE-I Android” working with the founder directly.
I spiced up my CV with claims of 2x load time, reducing costs, international team collaboration, and an award.
Some college awards to boot too!

I made a detailed fake job story, read interview books, solved questions and watched salary negotiation videos. Eventually, I got into a Series A startup with only having to make 1 fake certificate.
They never checked with my previous employers, and now I earn eight times what I would have.

The guilt and imposter syndrome haunted me until I started performing well. I still feel guilty, like last Holi when my family praised my achievements.

Just excused myself and went for a smoke and a ride out. The bike is here and it is a custom painted beauty.

Guilty thoughts still go by occasionally but I am becoming more and more comfortably numb to it every passing year.

I have since stopped outright lying and just partake in the standard resume inflation.

Had to let this out.

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

I'm a 3rd year student looking for internship opportunities in December. I'm looking for potential full stack roles. I tend to work on scalable backend stuff and on the frontend side, I've worked on decent projects (mostly integrating ml models with a frontend). 

The thing is, I'm confused right now. I feel like it's better to start working in a startup as I don't have practical industry experience. My main issue right now is not knowing how to find startups or how to email them, what to include in the email and so on. I'm completely blank and new to applying for jobs and I'm looking for some input here on how to approach this.

Tips on finding startups for internship

Hello all

I work as a software developer at a seed -> acquired startup. Total work ex is around 1.5years. I am looking for a change now. 
Till now I have applied to some bigger companies with referrals and some through job portals, only got one call till now after applying at many of them.

I want to switch gears in my application now as I want to switch as soon as possible. The next step would be cold emailing decent startups. 

Could you guys help me with my approach to cold emailing and share some best practices? I don't have much experience doing cold emails because I've gotten previous jobs either through campus/angellist like sites.

PS: The number of calls/applications is making me a bit anxious
I've tried dropping LinkedIn connect messages to a lot of recruiters and engineering managers but no luck

Job Hunt

I am applying for Roles in Linkedinwhich I was qualified well (may be I am overhyping myself) but I am not getting shortlisted for any of the roles applying.

Is there anything I should do instead of just applying ?

LinkedIn is it scam ?

Associate Product Manager

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?

Web Developer

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?

Developers, where do you look for jobs?

Senior Associate

I'm 2020 passed out based in India but due to my 10th class percentage was below 60%. I was unable to get a job. I was doing some small freelancing gigs and at the same time learnt Frontend Web Dev Skill. But due to academic eligibility criteria in India I was unable to get a job. Could someone suggest me ways to get a job in Frontend role or any related roles.

How to find startups that are hiring

I am Fresher completing college in 2022, non engg, Went through a full Stack web dev course in MERN stack from a popular coding bootcamp. Now have around 6 months experience as a freelancer in product based startups. Currently earning around 35-40k per month remotely with actively looking for Full Time opportunities with atleast 5-6LPA. Looking at current market conditions it's becoming very difficult to get it.

Mega Thread: Who is Hiring(June 2023)

Hello,

Have been continually updating my resume and applying over the past year. Having difficulty even getting a short list or get an exploratory call. 

Is there any red flags that might be causing it? Would appreciate any feedback.

Got an offer for 10lpa from an analytics company, on notice period at Infosys till mid March. Hoping for an offer within that timeframe. At any established product based company, target is 15-18 lpa.

Have one interview in the works and also the client I’m working for through Infosys has verbally told me they are planning to offer 15lpa. 

Would also appreciate any advice 🙂
 Thank you
