MS Grad Returned to India with no Job | Need help getting job in India

Asking for a friend:

Hi everyone,

I recently completed my MS in Computer Science from New York University (2023) and have a BTech 2023 from a Tier 2/3 university in India. I couldn’t secure a job in the U.S., so after a year of job searching, I returned to India in August 2024. Since then, I've been looking for job opportunities here.

Experience: I don’t have full-time experience in a company, but I completed an internship during my time at NYU. I'm currently applying for backend Java developer roles, using the internship experience to showcase my skills.

Given the current job market in India and my background, could you offer any advice? I’m eager to secure a job as soon as possible, as I also need to manage student loan (70L INR) payments.

Thanks so much for any help or suggestions!
