Not getting any callbacks
I'm actively searching for SDE-2 roles for more than 2 months now. I have 2+ yrs of experience. From almost all the companies I'm getting rejected at resume level itself even tho I'm having relevant experience. Any tips on how to fastrack this and get interview calls?

Try referrals?

Get a professional resume maker service and see how it works?
It's not you, It's the tech market. Employers are being very picky as the supply of candidates far exceeds the demand, and most startups are trying to cut down spending to increase their runway
Not just the tech market but all across
Have you applied to more than 500 positions (~100 companies) ?
- Use Naukri, LinkedIn, Google job board.
- Apply even if it doesn't match the whole profile
- Target startups. Don't just Target big cos Good luck mate. It's exhausting but you have got this.
Also suggest applying on Instahyre. I got most of my calls from Instahyre and LinkedIn.
Try SDE-1 ?
Tried it. Same situation. Currently the competition is so high. I personally feel that it's right time to try for sde-2 roles else I need to wait for atleast 1 more year to be an sde-2.
Ok maybe u have high comp. too so it’s harder to get someone willing to at least match that. If so, wait till things get better
Same here with 2 yr experience. Applying a lot, mostly SDE1. No responses. Even a rejection response would make me happy now.
Salary you are looking at ?
Try to get your resume reviewed and rewrite it using ChatGPT. I got a boost in calls after ChatGPT rewrote my resume points.
However, the problem is not with you, it is with the job market. So please don't worry so much. May I know what is your role and tech stack?
Honestly most places i checked SDE- 2 roles require 3-5 YOE. Even then for 3YOE person it is difficult to get shortlisted as HR rejects you on just YOE.
Maybe you should try “Long polling”
