I have been searching for job for almost 4 months now, due to layoff. The job market is pretty tough these days so I thought of trying out freelancer path. Even after having a really solid resume and work experience, it’s difficult to get freelancing jobs. I am exploring upwork and freelancer platform but it’s of no use till now.
Do you have any such freelance platform recommendations (which works) or someone you can connect me to ?

My question is what is the main platform I need to focus on or any technique or anything you want to say that might help me to find a new job pls do comment It would be super helpful. If you were in my position what step you would take or any technique you would use that might help you to get a job easily without waiting for months?

Layoff guide

Folks I am looking to generate some extra bucks by renting my free time, but I’m not able to find genuine good deals for part time freelance, if any of you already working or have some ideas about it I would really appreciate help

Where to find good freelance work?

Coders on grapevine, need your advice. I want to start part time job or freelancing to earn extra money. I have 7 yoe in JavaScript (reactjs, react native). 
Where should i start my search?
What should I expect in terms of client expectations?

If any of you are doing freelancing, I would love to hear about your journey.

Freelancing

I am thinking of leaving my current job and focus on myself, getting to know myself better etc. Currently I have enough money saved for my expenses for next 6-8 months. 
   Everyone I have asked about this say don't leave your job if you don't have another lined up, in this tech winter. I understand their view point. It aligns with what my parents think as well.

Is there anyone who has had done this in the past? Do you recommend this route? Are the consequences far too severe? Does anyone have a different opinion from one stated above?

Anyone ever left job without having another job lying around for their mental peace?

I'm in the same boat, on the verge of quitting, and will most probably take the leap next month.  
 Thanks for the thread. A lot of insights. It has made me confident that I'm not doing anything stupid.

Consultant

I have expertise in full stack backend heavy and react based web frontend roles and native mobile development on iOS too.

I am looking for actual real ways to freelance. Freelancer and upwork are not panning out well

Please help me with actual freelancing options in India.

Job Chaiye | Seeking product roles

Hi.

I received a termination letter from my past company. The reason was, I sent my resignation letter from home and responded only when they reached out.

I know I am at fault. Should have sent resignation from office itself. But their punishment seems very harsh. I didn't get a chance to explain myself. 

Wherever I am applying for jobs, getting turned down as I do not have experience letter and relieving letter. Having a termination letter seems to be equal to having a criminal record.

I tried requesting my ex company, but seems they have forgotten my existence, and talked in a rude manner.

Day by day I am losing confidence. Trying my hand at freelancing also, but it would be like starting from zero.

How can I repair my situation. Advice pls.

PS: Humble request to all, no trolling please. Already I am down, don't want to get out.

Termination blues

Frontend Engineer

I've been looking for jobs for 1.8 years now and I've never received any calls from recruiters for the position I've applied to. I've got my resume checked/reviewed multiple times. 

I'm just not getting any calls. Please I really need a job, please. And to the recruiters - don't treat candidates like they are some use and throw pen, disposable plates, treat them with respect and don't lie to them.

At least someone help pls. I'm in desperate need of employment. Pls I'm begging.

Hey folks,
I want to dip my hand in freelancing.
My job is quite laid back and i have a lot of free time.

I have been grinding leetcode in my free time but I'm bored of it. So, I decided why not use this to expand my real working knowledge and earn some side income too.

Any experienced freelance person, please guide on how to start and where to. I know it takes a serious hustle to break the first client. But starting itself seems daunting to me.

Thanks for your time

Welcome to Business Roles's Private Community

Hello everyone,

I'm reaching out to the community with a shared goal: to help fresh graduates like me find software engineering opportunities in the field of Computer Science, particularly in AIML. Unfortunately, I couldn't attend my placement, so I'm actively seeking both full-time positions and internships.

I've been scouring various job platforms like LinkedIn and others, but it's disheartening to see any positive response. I know I'm not alone in facing this challenge, so I'm posting here to connect with those who might have leads or opportunities for freshers, and I'm especially interested in startup roles.

If you have any information or leads, please share them in the comments. Let's come together and support fresh graduates who are navigating this tough job market. Your assistance could make a significant difference in someone's career. Thank you in advance.

PS: Freshers, please like and share this post to help raise awareness of the challenges we're facing.

Seeking Software Engineering opportunities for Fresh Graduates

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.

Tech rant

Bangalore tech scene is weird man. I feel even the auto driver knows how to code and the third wave barista is definitely doing leetcode because that coffee & sandwich clearly don't take 15 minutes to make

Founder

Got impacted in the layoff at Sharechat today after working 4+years here.
Got the news an hour back and have not shared this with anyone in my family yet.

I am sad and have to share this news with my fiancee and in-laws today. Tell them why I have to cancel vacation plans and look out for a job instead.

I am into an arranged married and my in-laws are very conservative and don't understand tech work culture, I don't know how they will take the news of a layoff.

I'm anticipating they will be shocked, her asshole brother-in-law will even make fun of me.

To make it worse the fault is mine for believing I won't be laid off when my company was not doing well. I thought it would not happen to me and never looked out in advance.

Fuck 2023. What a shit show Christmas.

Laid off, embaressed and sad

I don’t think you should cancel the vacation.  
  
 My point is - all hiring team members would be out, so nothing will change in hiring spheres.  
  
 But you should face your in-laws and you’ll learn more about them before you tie the knot. Job loss is temporary, getting into a relationship is more longer term.

I recently got laid off from deloitte. Im looking for work in data analytics in startups. Can u guys pls suggest something? I’m really lost

Analyst 

Hey Folks I got recently impacted by layoff.I have experience in Analytics in ML. Need some guidance on how to leverage online platform more effectively for job search. My current actions are follows:-
1. Naukri : Should I kept it as service notice period or shall I put that I am current available to join in 15 days?
2. Linkedin : I am reaching out to post openings less than 24 hours using hashtags like #openings #analytics #immediate joiners 
My Profile : 8 YOE( relevant to ML 5 YOE)
Will appreciate all your valuable suggestions/feedback/alternate strategy/hacks to overcome this phase of my life.
