Depressed after college placements
I'm a final year CSE undergraduate at VIT CHENNAI. So my college placements started in july week 1 . At the start of it there were big companies like phonePe Google Zomato Paypal WorkIndia and many others mostly 20lpa + package companies. Most of these would give out criteria for 9 pointers so I wouldn't get shortlisted, my CGPA isn't super bad it's 8.68 but still it hurt a bit being left out of these good companies because of cgpa. Now it's October Many companies have come and gone and I'm still not placed Sometimes it's because resume isn't shortlisted Sometimes my branch isn't shortlisted (I'm in a cse specialization course) sometimes i give exams and they go good but I dont get shortlisted further. Sometimes college net doesn't work while giving a test on campus. Sometimes company doesn't activate test link for some kids and I'm that unlucky guy . So after all of this , I'm heartbroken and depressed. I don't know what to do, where to look for off campus jobs or anything. Placements in my college carry on till jan next year probably, but it hurts seeing random people get selected over me even though I've done better academically etc . Do you guys have any advice/tips for me What should I do? How should I go look for jobs off campus Or how to prepare for placements Anything might be helpful so please do comment .
Here's what i can do
