What's happening with the job market?

Hi, fresher here and just browsing linkedin and opportunities that are available in the market. I have recently come across this trend by all the companies almost of having some unreal expectations for the jobs that they have to post. These are some entry level roles and demand experience? How is that supposed to work?? Idk if im wrong here but the example im sharing is a product analyst role demanding 7 years of experience? Am I mistaken to see this as absurdity? Seen this with all the product roles as well, ns about other entry level jobs. Please let me know if I’m missing any information that I need to know or if there is a reason behind such demands. Thanks for reading.

Hello everyone, I'm a Fresher with 1 year working experience as a React.js developer, now I'm looking for the job in current market scenario, apply almost 50-60 jobs but I was only get 4-5 replies from Recruiter,just wanted to know, will the market remain same, and will change, It is Horror, lot of folks, my friends with good skills set not able to get one good job and not even interview call Just asking to senior folks here, if you know any insights , when will market become good and hiring start again agressively

Is job market recovering ? I m seeing so many job postings with 10+ lpa for freshers Still many complain abt bad market showcasing recent google layoffs I'm planning to switch , I'm not sure this is good idea or not!

Hi All, As we have seen many startups are firing highly paid engineers and hiring for the same post with way less salaries. Is it only happening because the market is bad? Are these salaries going to be the new normal for engineers? Given that people are ready to take jobs even with less salaries. I wanted to know your thoughts.

I am trying to switch since last 2 months using naukri, instahyre, linkedin and cutshort and have only gotten calls from WITCH companies and other small service companies. Is job market really that bad or do I lack the tech to get an interview at a decent product company? Does instahyre even work? Not a single call or view by recruiters I have almost 8 years exp and tech stack is java, rest API, kafka, weblogic etc.

I graduated in June this year and have been struggling to find a job despite all my efforts. I was offered a position at TCS Digital, but it feels like a letdown after all the preparation I’ve done. For the past year, I’ve been solving DSA problems and developing apps, but the job search has been incredibly challenging. I even interned at IIT, yet I still can’t land a job. It’s so frustrating to see people who don’t have the same level of development or problem-solving skills get hired while I go from one interview to the next. I’ve been applying to 3-5 jobs daily for the last six months, and I’ve only received a few interview calls. In one case, I made it to the final round after excelling in three technical rounds, but I was rejected after the founders’ round without any feedback. I was led to believe I had done extremely well, which made the rejection even harder. During campus placements, I reached the final rounds of interviews with decent companies, but I was always rejected after reaching the top 5. Other companies either ghost or give out task rounds where you compete with devs who have 3-5 years of industry experience. It’s insane. I’m fortunate that I don’t have to support my family financially, thanks to my well-off parents, but it’s still disheartening. On top of all this, the focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives is tough to navigate. All the top companies that came to my college—Flipkart, Myntra, Amazon, Adobe—had female-only hiring tags. I thought I could make it through hackathons, but now even those are women-only. I am not blaming women nor do I mean to knock their hustle but I hope you can understand how difficult it is to deal with quotas in this market. I can’t figure out where I’m going wrong. I network heavily on LinkedIn, have strong communication skills, have been grinding LeetCode, and participate in hackathons while developing apps for fun, but I still can’t seem to land a job. PS: If anyone can help with advice or referrals, I’d be grateful. Thanks for bearing with my harangue.

why is the job market so bad these days? Trying to switch since Feb. Is it across all domains? Recruiters are going cold after 2-3 rounds. What can be a plausible reason?

Recently, I've been observing a concerning trend that I haven't observed before in my 5 years in this industry. A large no. of job openings are coming up at mid-sized companies and startups that require 5+ years of experience but pay 7-12 LPA. One of these companies even used to pay a decent more when I'd applied to it a few years before Does anyone have insights on the root causes behind this trend and how it will shape up the job market going forward? My hypotheses on root causes:- (1) Bad job market (2) Advent of AI

Is anyone else facing difficulty finding a new job? I have been trying for 2 months to no avail

How is the current state of the market? I'm thinking of switching a company. I have 1 yoe working as a software engineer in a startup.
