I started as a fresher at a big service-based company, faced a lot of politics, and was learning nothing. I realized I needed to leave it ASAP. I left it after 8 months, then was jobless for 2 months.
After 2 months joined an early-stage startup, and was satisfied with my learning for a while, but in the backend team, there were only two people me and the CTO. And my dynamics with him didn't go very well. There was no culture as well, weekdays and weekends were the same. I was still fine with it but the guy (CTO) became very toxic and creepy.
In 2 months, I started interviewing and I got into a mid-sized series B startup that had a good culture. I had to switch tech stack and it was more overwhelming than I thought initially. I tried to do good but I got laid off after working there for 10 months. All the way along I increased my package to a decent level.
Now I feel super demotivated and underconfident and it's been 6 months since and I haven't taken up a job. With an increasing gap, I feel I have fucked up my career.
In these 6 months, I have tried exploring different career options but haven't been able to crack any or have been indecisive and I feel I should just take up a job.
Do you know, react and node? I can get you a referral. See the culture is shit, it's a remote job the work is too much. But I can get you a job. But don't expect a high package. They pay peanuts, but at least you won't have a gap and you'll get some money.
I can get you a referral I mean. Rest is on you
Hey man, you haven’t screwed up your career. It is a really tough market out there. Would suggest that you reach out to recruiters from Startups who are doing fine on LinkedIn and send out a personalised message. In the meantime do keep upgrading yourself or busy by taking up freelancing projects or otherwise. Good things take time. It will eventually pan out.
