Welcome to Office Gossip's Private Community

Trying to see companies that people here have had the dream to join, but didn’t ultimately work out. Have you now grown over it?

Which company were you obsessed with joining, but never could?

For me it was McKinsey 
 It was the best job out of college, status wise. 
  
 Did well in college and made it to the final shortlist. Was obsessed with it, read books and all about The Firm. 
  
 Then the interviews happened, couldn’t convert. Was a downer.  
  
 But 5 years later, doesn’t matter much. I feel life taught me better things. And my fascination of consulting jobs has changed drastically since :p

Corporate Strategist

I was persuing cse from a decent college in pune . In my last year i.e.2023 , I was placed in a startup in pune with CTC 5 lpa but it had bond of 2 years ,so I rejected that offer .I ended up getting my college placement account banned because according to them I was already placed ,so I started looking for jobs off campus,but I never thought it's going to be this hard to look for jobs off campus. Applying to multiple companies in a day ,resume getting rejected and then applying again .for some where I get shortlisted, they keep on asking questions from things which are not even mentioned in my resume although their jd don't even mentioned those skills .In some companies where my interview was 10 on 10 (according to me), still they rejected me and when asked they used to say ,they found more suitable candidates.
I graduated in September 2023 , and I am still looking for job , trying to upgrading myself everyday to get better.
I never regret my decision of not accepting that job. I don't know if I am getting any job or not but I am gonna be more strong and better with each passing day .
Regards .

Good or bad decision?

Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

I have got an offer from Oracle, but in their service based domain, hike is fair but its all fixed comp and no ther benefits.
I am applying to so many jobs but getting rejected. Not a single call from a product based company.
I don’t want to work in service based as my experience in Infosys is pathetic.
Till now I applied for about 200+ jobs but the problem is-
Getting calls only from some unknown startups and their budget is low if they compare to my offer.
Not getting shortlisted in any product based even with referrals.

There is only one thing to be happy, that I have an offer and even if its service domain in Oracle, in experience I can show comapny name as Oracle and it won’t be mentioned whether its service based or product. But internally I know it won’t help in long run. It will only be showing in my linkedin that I work at Oracle.

Frustrated with applying jobs and getting rejected everywhere. 2 month of notice remaining, not sure what shoudl I change in my strategy or what should I do. Overthinking is also cherry on the cake.

Frustrated!!! 🤯

I work in a well know product company but still I am unable to get any interview calls or even a email. Once I apply, all I am getting is rejection mail or no response. Is my resume bad? I have gotten promotion in my current job and also did some great achievements. What am I missing?

Trying for job switch but unable to get any calls or interviews. What am I doing wrong?

I am seeing lots of jobs post on LinkedIn from various companies and when u apply to them there is no call back or any update from them. I am now like confused if those post are even true or not? Anyone face/observe this

Has anyone observed this ?

Profile- 4 YOE, B.Tech from old IIT
I started looking for new roles towards the end of June, and it took me approximately two months to get an offer letter. My skillset in a niche technical area helped me to get this offer. My advice to folks looking for a job, focus on your strengths and do not get discouraged. It's brutal out there, but you need only one job. Stay focused.

Job Search in current market for a PM

Product Manager

Hi Grapeviners, I have ten years of work ex in performance marketing and CRM. I started job search actively from Feb 15 this year and landed first interview today. 

How bad is the market out there. I usually get hired with in 30 job applications, also I apply to the role only if 70% and above role match with my previous experience also use referrals when available.

Also please roast my resume https://stonedmind.tiiny.site/ have redacted wherever necessary to stay anonymous as possible. For the first time in my career I have a doubt that my resume might not be upto the mark

Please let me know your views in the comments. Any help is appreciated.

To land 1 interview it took 60 job applications

Being a tier 3 college grad, It took me 700 applications to get 25 shortlists, and only 7 interview calls. Converted all of them. 
  
 Sometimes you’re just not allowed to participate in the race 🙂

Growth Manager

I was laid off in February. Finally after 2.5 months of boring interviews and life, landed a job. Today was Day 1. 
I was outside India for a while doing crazy stuffs. I returned in June and then started applying. Here is the summary. 
1. Lots of applicants in the job market. Every job would attract 1000s of applicants 
2. Most jobs require high experience - 5+ 
3. Applying and finding companies who are hiring is tough. 
4. Emailed everyone in network, took referrals from all friends, took referrals from LinkedIn (very low response), Applied on instahyre, Wrote to startup founders, applied Wellfound, Workday(worst of all), Naukri 
5. Startups are the worst - gave petty assignments and ghosted after getting solution. Had to follow up multiple times but to no avail. They ate my whole 1 month
6. Some interviews were different - in one I had to code in python very fast. That's it. Wasn't selected as I was looking up for syntax on internet. 
7. Overall it was a very boring and tiring process. I somehow maintained my sanity. 

YoE- 2
TC- 29L ( Base +PF)

Laid off in Feb. Landed a job now.

Tough time never last but tough people do  
 Great 🔥

I am a java full stack developer with 2+ yoe. Have built projects in MERN as well. I've been trying to switch and started applying 2 months back in hopes of at least getting  some interviews, but it looks like it's becoming a task nowadays. My mail is full of rejections for most of the applications I've submitted on naukri and LinkedIn.

So, now till this date I had just got one interview for PWC. 

Is it the same for everyone? Or am I doing something wrong here?

Is landing an interview this difficult?

Leave the count of applicants. Entry level doesn't even mean entry level anymore (*looking at you LinkedIn). You guys got any other avenues for job search. I am a data analyst with 2+ yrs of exp.

Business Analyst

Welcome to Moving Abroad's Private Community

I have applied for ML Engineer position more than 20 companies in UK, US. I got interviewed for 2 companies and hired by none. I also tried to apply for GAAFA but no response. 

Do people abroad value resumes including the online stuff that you do like projects, websites?
    I can see people who have not done any big work in previous experience got landed in top jobs. They have other experience like a blog and LinkedIn followers.

I have been involved in three strong projects during my time in company and all are in latest domains. But I don't have the blogs and personal website. Just the core work done in the company.

Is this a big drawback when applying to companies abroad?

Are US,UK companies interested in blog/site more than the resume?

Corporate catfishing? More companies are posting realistic job listings that don't exist. 

Companies doing this are trying to trick employees into thinking the company is growing and that they are hiring more workers to alleviate their workload. This is not only manipulative, but immoral. 

If you want to increase productivity and alleviate stress in your office, start by showing appreciation for your employees and encouraging them.

Share some companies you might know that have been doing this.

That job you applied for, might not exist !!

Senior Consultant

I am a backend engineer with a 9 year exp. In my fourth company now. Started with 5 lpa, now at 31 Lpa. 
Mostly have worked in normal companies only. I am from one of the NITs. 
I am not good at DSA. Everytime I have to switch a job, my resume gets shortlisted  and I get call via naukri. 
The things is in these last 4 job searches I have been rejected 100 times. I have been rejected by almost all the companies, 
Service now 5-6 times, oracle 5-6 times, Walmart 2 times, goldman 3 times, jpmorgan 2 times, Amazon 4-5 times, arcesium 3-4 times, msft 2 times. 
Apart from these, I have been rejected by adp, celigo, phenom, barclays, flipkart etc. 

Every time, I want to change a job, I'll get rejected by all the big companies and then will get selected at some normal company with a hike and will join them. 
I am at my fourth company now, and again I am searching for a job. Have already been rejected by GS, service now, phenom, epam, ice, demandbase in last 2 months. 
Every time it is the same DSA. 

I try studying, will do decent amount of leetcode prior to interviews. Last two months I am doing leetcode from strivers sheet. 
But same question I'll do here, and in interview will fail. Example I have done sorted array rotation, shares sell and buy, rain water trapping, and was asked the same question in interview and couldn't solve. 

I also want to earn more and get into some big company and stay there for some times, what shall I do? 

My concerns are, I am getting lesser calls this time compared to the last few years, I can't be switching job every two years. 
Want to join a big company and earn more.
