Good or bad decision?

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 .

Try Ycombinators, wellfound.but many startups will require to have good development skills, portfolio or GitHub link with some nice projects(having some complexity/ features which you develop on your own without copy pasting from others)

Never tried ycombinator Had very bad experiences with wellfound, they told me to do a particular project as an assessment, I did my best to complete that project in given time and after submitting,they don't ever both to look once . But yeah need to do that again and again

yes assignment part is fishy have heard from few folks. don't put efforts into that if it is too time taking like building full fledged app with loads of feature. Better look for other companies.

"Never regret my decision of not accepting that job! ". You're a warrior. Try for startups buddy. Direct DM founders. Btw I'm a 2024 graduate.
