GP only starts to count if it's more than 6 months. Even then nobody cares about gap.

Sorry to burst your bubble 
 First question asked in interviews is why are you not working. Sometimes it also becomes the last question asked.

Bruh. Not having a job and having a career gap due to some reason are 2 different things. Even if you have a job and are switching then HR can still ask like hey why did you have a gap of 1 yr a few years back for enquiry purposes

Software Developer

Welcome to Software Engineers's Private Community

I recently got laid off due to restructuring in the company.

I have 6 months of internship and 6 months of full time experience in the same company.

Mostly looking for backend developer jobs in Java and Spring. Since I worked on this stack. 

since it was my first job that too campus placement, I have some noob questions about the job switch 

- Can I find a good paying job as a fresher java developer ? (my previous base was 14LPA)

- How should I go about applying. which sites or methods to use 

- what is the order of importance in (refral, resume, cold mailing, LinkedIn, direct applying on career site)

If you have any openings or can refer for a junior or associate Software engineer position. Please drop a comment.

[Laid off] looking for a fresher backend job

Product Manager

I got laid off from a startup where I was working as Program Manager. Zero prior experience. Salary was 22Lpa , now nobody is willing to pay me in that range. What needs to be done here to overcome this layoff pandemic situation.

Tier-1.5 MBA, zero work ex prior to MBA. Got laid off after a stint with a healthtech startup after 1 year

Project Manager

I don't know why everyone is making a big deal out of layoffs. Even the ones who laid off are not that concerned than the ones who comment.

Laid off employees literally get free money upwards of 10 lakhs in many cases of senior developers who are laid off from top tech startups. Companies pay severance equal to 3-6 months salary of laid off employees. Some even offer other benefits as well.

I personally know a couple of Devs who got around ~9-10L in severance pay. So, yeah if there are layoffs happening in funded tech startups or leading tech companies, considering their pay range, laid off employees get handsome severance pay including employee benefits

Layoffs a big deal? Positive side of layoffs

Hope you get laid-off & get a good severance package! Will see how your job search goes.

Hii, I'm a front-end developer having around 3 years of work experience. I got laid-off in 2023 just after 1.8years in an organisation. Then I joined another company and got laid off in 6 months. Now I have an offer from early stage startup but I'm too scared to accept it because of my experience. But on the other hand I don't have any offer as well. Will it look bad on my resume. I don't know... I've started thinking that something is wrong with me otherwise what is the chances of getting laid off twice within same year. 
First I loose my peace of mind because of work pressure and then I loose my work... pretty f**cked up situation.
I have never been this unde confident. 
What do you think shall I take the offer from startup again or wait few more months or more to get into good mnc??

2 Layoffs in 2 years

Last year March, I was hired as Growth & Marketing Lead in one of the companies abroad at 30LPA (Remote). Now, they are shutting the project I’m in and have received a notice. 

I’m a Marketer by profession with expertise in 0-1 growth in startups. I’ve 8 YOE. Now the problem is, 0-1 startups in India can’t afford me easily and other startups say I don’t have experience in series B and further kind of startups. 

If 0-1 have got good funding amount, they still want to hire someone who has experience of scaling Series A and further kind of startups. 

The basic chicken and egg problem. 

Although I’m trying to apply for the companies abroad, I’m super confused what should I do now. I’ve emergency funds to sustain 3 months but don’t want to rely on that.

Being Laid Off. What should I Do next?

Hi guys, just got layedoff day before yesterday. I had joined Increff on 5 June and was layedoff after 2 months due to cost cutting. They had overhired people hoping for growth but their clients left and had runway of 5-6 months. Can you guys help me out here in finding a new job. I was working as an SDE backend. Just graduated from college l, basically a fresher. 🥲

Recently got layedoff

I faced job loss in November, with one year of experience as a 2022 batch passout. My skills include JavaScript, React, and Core Java, and I've begun practicing on LeetCode. Despite applying to nearby companies and MNCs, I haven't received any responses, leaving me feeling tense and depressed. I'm uncertain about when hiring will resume.

Got laid off. Looking for opportunies

I am currently working with a start-up from the last 2 years as a web developer angular+ dot net. My current CTC is 5LPA. Waiting for appraisal form last 1 year, and management has cleared that we do not expect a magical raise this time, I will hardly get 25 - 30% this time. Should I wait for 1 more year here( product is good and work culture is best). Or look for another opportunity. How much salary should I expect from outside? I have good knowledge and worked on various things frontend, backend, ci/cd.

Need Advice!!!

Hey guys,

So i was asking questions to one engineer manager about quality analyst. I asked her how sdet as field in general as i already have 5 years of experience in QA field. Learning side by side coding for a next switch. She said do something else except QA as in her experience, her previous companies do not have QA team itself. So i am little confused as a career path. So wanted to ask how you guys software at your workplace and does sdet role will have significance in this market in future?

How you do QA at work and do your company employ seperate QA team/dev need to do everything
