I am scared now.

Hi folks, I got laid off in Sept. since then looking for a Job. market is so scary. Few questions:

a lot of companies are hiring through crewscale, etc. they are offering low salary as per the role. are companies paying low salary to them or they are taking a big cut? do people treat them differently once they join a company via crewscale?
I am not able to get my resume shortlist for mncs.

what to do now? recently my friend got a call from razorpay gehy were offering for sde role 15 lakh for 2 years experienced. they were paying 22 lakh for sde 1 last year. the role is not product engg or solution ennggg that they recently introduced for low salary. it was sde role.

Take the offer that would atleast match your pay. It is a tough market.

Only in India I am hearing this BS since 2022 that market is worse. In the US ,Europe so many companies are hiring.

It indeed is a tough market dude. I had to apply to more than 70 roles in the last 3 months to get about 20 calls. Of them 7 materialized to interview. 6 of them asked for a pay cut compared to what I was making before getting laid off. Finally chose one which agreed for 30% hike provided that I work from office, after showing them my previous offers.

If you are getting low balls, take one, and get next offer based on that and shop. It's hard, but still doable if you can show your confidence to the recruiter.

If you are not getting calls at all, get your resume checked for impact. Make sure to rewrite every point as such that it shows an impact.
