I am a fresher 2023 graduate and have been doing this (applying for jobs) for almost a year, everyone said you have to do internships as it is necessary so did 2 internships one for a year and another for 6 months but apparently no one counts internships as experience even jobs that had 1-3 yoe as requirement and now everyone's hiring 2024 grads as freshers (I tried to look for another internship but there were none during the time of placements).
I am now tired of this field, many full stack devs don't know shit outside Javascript world and many of them can't even use tools like git properly and are so cocky of themselves.
Saw an SDE on twitter who apparently has 6 years of experience, doesn't even know how to configure multiple SSH and says managing multiple ssh is a downside. A women dev (cause in India you have engineers and female engineers apparently) doesn't know about sidebar cache and calls it a bug and she's in google. and If I try to roast these people with my real name there's a whole cabal of Banglorians who will grab their macbooks inside third wave coffee and start tweeting against me after aggressively drinking their Chocolate mocha frappe.
Just go into any random tech twitter space no one seems to be talking about tech it's always about DSA, interviews, LIFE IN BANGLORE, which cafe they visited.
I let myself believe tech was my passion and worked hard for but Indian techies and companies are worst, this generation thinks they are better than their predecessor but follow the same politics everywhere even when it comes to Tech communities (who tf does politics in a community that produces open source code wtf).
They talk about networking and creating a community all the time but can't even respond to linkedin cold dm and blame the sender by nitpicking about the format 👏👏 and then they'll go on post the screenshot and rant how it's the sender fault to even try to network with them with a message that isn't written from their own blood.
Try targetting startups they don't usually focus much or require professional experience, it seems like you are looking for job profiles in FAANG similar companies, that will surely be tough. My suggestion would be to expand your search domain and start a job.
you should remove maybe from your name. The post is not about where to apply jobs but more on toxicity and dumbness of these Banglore techies. P.S. I have mostly applied to startups or mid level companies, first of all they don't have any openings for entry level programmers. Also I am placed atm
😂😂I can see the reason why everyone wants to reject you. Also removing maybe from username won't change much for me, I'm making more than FAANG sde2 while still being an undergraduate. Best of luck✌️
there's more like plenty more like I can write a book but I reached the word limit here
Can understand. Actually this time(tech bubble burst) is tough. Companies are picky. If it was a normal time I am sure you would have multiple offers.
don't mistake my anger because I didn't get placed and I don't need any sympathy on an anonymous platform since it amounts to nothing. Even if it was a normal time and I was earning 50 LPA the toxicity would be still apparent, 2020 and then layoffs just accelerated all this stuff this was bound to happen, been noticing this since 2019
Agree, in the Indian tech space, most of the SDEs consider themselves to be gurus just because they know DSA well. Those who are really doing well and have a wide range of knowledge in different CS fundamentals domains, they don't bark out in the public.
Completely understandable rant - but there is light at the end of the tunnel You dont need to give two fucks about these communities/ bhaiyya- didis and even the entitled SDEs. These are all result of hype cycle which has died anyway. In my experience, i have met some of the smartest and humble people in tech ( in Bangalore) and my learning curve has been great because of these people. You will not find them on Twitter or linkedlin or in third wave, they are found building great engineering systems sitting in their homes/offices and quitely living their life. My 2cents- either build and launch products of your own, doesn't need to be original just copy and launch OR find a job in some tech based startup ( like confluent etc) where you will find actual techies and not the show-off junta
My experience - 6+ years in tech
Hey fellow One Piece enjoyer! I am in first year of a tier 2 college in Pune.
Any tips on what to learn to have the highest upper limit on earning or any tips in general?
