Salary expectations check

I am Fresher completing college in 2022, non engg, Went through a full Stack web dev course in MERN stack from a popular coding bootcamp. Now have around 6 months experience as a freelancer in product based startups. Currently earning around 35-40k per month remotely with actively looking for Full Time opportunities with atleast 5-6LPA. Looking at current market conditions it's becoming very difficult to get it.

I did get few offers all around 3.5LPA. Last year my peers were getting 6-7LPA easily with my skills and background as fresher.

Any suggestions from your side. Also if anyone hiring with my skill sets please let me know.

You'll do fine, by any chance are you from Masai School? And if not in a hurry or have financial issues, don't accept a salary of less that 5 lpa. But yeah remember that this doesn't hamper your overall development experience which will come back once you try to switch.

Try contacting small startup people on Twitter, LinkedIn etc

Yeah from Masai. I am only looking for 5-6+ offers. If WFH, then can be little less. I am lucky to have freelance/part time offers. Many of my friends not even getting any interview schedules.

Let's see what I can get.

Try applying to startups via Wellfound or Instahyre. They're likely to care less about bootcamps/degrees and pay is usually better than average IT companies. All the best 👍
