Damn 🥲

Do you feel 2021 level of Job Market is back?

Hi Guys I am a front end developer looking out for job from past one month and I haven't received a single offer letter , I got transferred from Bangalore to Gurgaon due to family reasons but I feel here there is no job at all, The interviewer has a whole different attitude and I am getting rejected even after answering everything correctly

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)

Hey guys, I am an arts graduate from 2019. I have successfully wasted 4 years since now doing govt exams and other competitive exams. Now since the last 1.5 years I have been doing, front-end development, mainly self taught. Made some projects as well. The complexity of those projects are not super basic either. But now when I started applying for a job, things are getting clearer, that this market doesn't have a job for me. I came into this field, because when I am still figuring out what to do, this field feels really really good and interesting. I still have the passion for it and will continue to have it. Even if not in the shape of a job, I will continue learning and build an actual product. But now it's the peak age, to EARN. So, I need suggestions from you guys, that if I have any chance in this field or I should quit this field and started applying for any jobs I get to start earning asap.

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.

Almost in the last round in ShareChat, should I join this considering they had massive layoffs just few months back. I'll be working in the AI/ML position but I don't want to get laid off again lol. P.S: the job hunting has been wildd till now. It's tough out there PM Folks!

So basically like every time I see a job vacancy I do apply for it.. But I'm not sure why I never get any calls back Or mails and these days I only see vacancies where they want only experienced people like more than 5 or 10.. I mean...where am I going wrong in this job hunt... I'm having 2 yrs of exp where I have wasted 1 yr being in bench so I could say I didn't get a lot of insight for my yrs of exp.... It sucks tho.... 😢 where should I start now what should I do? Completely blank...

When looking for better opportunities post accepting an offer, is it good to tell recruiters that you are on a notice period when asked? Do recruiters consider good or bad? And how to reason why still looking for opportunities?

My contract was terminated last month citing restructuring. Honestly, I saw it coming but wasn't expecting it would hit like this I tried keeping my mind distracted, but now it has started to sink I live with parents and they aren't saying anything (they were feeding me before and still are, no change for them) I have had thoughts of ending all this, but do not have the courage. What if it ends halfway and I am redundant my whole life? Credit card bills are coming through now and being 42% of my ex-salary wasn't something I was prepared for. I thought I was a sane spender.
