Is market really bad?

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.

Hi everyone , its been 1 month since i hv started my job search . I hv taken refs also but nothing is happening neither i am getting calls nor test links. My exp is 2+ my company is a series f startup and has recently laid off and i am completely tensed . Plz suggest some advice . I am a backend engineer. I hv tried to reach out recruiting firms but even they are not replying.

I have close to 2 years of work exp at a boutique investment bank, I'm trying to make a switch and till date I haven't gotten a single call back, it's been few weeks now, just wanted to understand if this is how the process is or there's something wrong with the market rn?

Hi Guys , I started my job search in June Not getting much calls In interview the people who are taking interviews are having whole different level of attitude. 0 offer letter till date . Feeling stuck and demotivated.

I've been looking for a job for a while now and I've applied to numerous companies on multiple job portals. Only 1% to 2% of companies respond to my applications, and even they don't go beyond the initial introduction call, at the end of which I'm told "we'll be in touch" but they never call back. I've tried referrals too but without any luck. I have 4 years of experience at KPMG (the only job I've ever had) as a consultant and I have an MBA from IIM Udaipur. I think my CV isn't terrible either. I've had it reviewed from friends, family, ex-colleagues, and seniors from my college, listened to their advice, made the changes and applied everywhere, but there's no change. Help me. I would appreciate any and every advice y'all have to offer. Whether it's the bare minimum that I've been blind to all along or a couple extra miles, I wanna shoot a real shot.

I’m an Entry Level engineer having 1.7 years of experience in a WITCH company, mostly working on Spring, AWS, Core Java backend stack. I’m looking to switch to a better company for my growth as I don’t find any opportunities here and the learning has been very slow. I’m currently learning frontend (Angular) and K8s. Have tried giving my resumé to multiple companies everywhere but no luck. Is it very hard for someone having backend experience of 1.7 years to switch?

I've been working for more than a year now at my current org and want to switch due to the poor support and management and no learning opportunities, that said I'm very much interested in FE dev(not just for short term, but I want to make it as a career in the long term as well) and have been learning(good ol React, html-css, js/ts) from the past 2 years and have built some projects and a portfolio. Now comes the job market, straight up rejecting me mercilessly(I did get shortlisted in a few, but both ended up ghosting me afterwards), this has been going on for a few months now. I am lost thinking what to do now 🥲, please fellow FE devs and devs in general guide me with your wisdom

Hi guys, I have 3 years of experience in java springBoot Angular Javascript . I am currently looking for a job switch and landed in 3 interviews in total but failing in coding rounds. Can you please provide some interview preparation strategy?

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)

Me and my friends aren't even getting shortlisted for an interview.LinkedIn isn't working, direct referrals isn't working. After multiple rounds they just decide to go the other way. And this is happening with experienced talent. What the hell is happening!
