Hi guys , this is just another rant , I’m venting here because I have no friends or anyone who can understand. I am a final year CS student in 8th sem of tier 2 private college with no job and a student loan , I don’t know where it went wrong , i have 8.7 cgpa but companies only shortlisted 9 pointers even , some took only girls, some took only core cse not specialization, and the 3 4 I did give I couldn’t crack , maybe I am just stupid idk anymore. I have given up on life , i cry every day in the shower thinking where everything went wrong and what I should do and college placements are just a scam atp , I dont feel like living anymore
Let me give you another perspective, you are someone who didnt just dedicate all your time on studies atleast lets assume so and dont forget you cracked a 8.7 which tells you are very good at studies. I agree that your gpa is letting you not get shortlisted but you know what does for the companies that actually care about whom they are recruiting? Just gpa? No sir! What they look at is the whole candidate’s profile. So, what you need to do now? Whats going wrong?.
Your self confidence seems to be low right now which i can understand but trust me you have nothing to worry about considering you are competent and your grades shows that.
Start working on building a good overall profile. Work on projects, Increase your network- participate in events and perform.
Find what kind of role you want and gain real world experience on it be it through your own projects or through some internships. First step is always try to build yours and let it out in the world like showcase it.
Dont rush take your time, I dont know your situation but there might be external pressure once you out of your college if there is not or you put that pressure pn yourself I strongly suggest you not to let it get to you. Investing time and finding what you love to do and getting your profile match it will give you a leap aheas of everyone and importantly you will love what you do.
Dont compare yourself to others!
Note: I mightve put in some assumptions but my only goal is to encourage you.
Thanks a lot man ,
Yea its true that I dont have a good overall profile maybe I've only done 1 internship at Nokia for 1 month and have 1 year of freelance experience on upwork , I need to increase my network, what are the ways to do that ? How do I actually increase network, LinkedIn connects dont do much for me. How else can I increase network?
I also advice you to explore more about yourself see what is your XFactor and trust me everyone has one. For example mine is quick learning man you wont believe put me in any role Ill perform above average in as minimal time as possible. I leverage this in my work and do things that no one does at my work which always put me on top at work. THIS IS AN ATTITUDE YOU NEED WHEN YOU START WORKING SO JUST PUTTING IT OUT THERE.
This too shall pass. Market isnt that good, apply to places yourself. Work on yourself In a year or 2, you'd be thinking that this is a trivial issue and there wasn't anything to give up
