Was feeling very down
I didn't want to let this out but couldn't hold it back. Im having 3yoe and despite having good pbc and startups experience and being from a tier 1 university I'm not getting any calls. Earlier I was able to get calls when I was not applying but now not even a single call.
I have no friends to talk to, I'm losing zeal to study as well. I don't find interest in anything now as well. Almost everyone of my grad yr is an SDE 2 now but I'm a loser I feel.
I don't even have anyone to talk or share how I feel, it feels disgusting to be like this. I don't cry usually but i don't know why my eyes couldn't stop tears.
I just don't know what to do at this point. I never did bad to anyone and was always kind to everyone around but now at this stage I don't feel anything at all.
Bro (assuming it's a bro)
Nothing subtle about my response.
Get a life, make friends. Network actively.
By network actively, try and meet people physically.
When you interact with someone online, and have a great conversation.
Offer them a coffee/beer and ask if they are interested in meeting you physically.
Make sure you don't starting chasing skirts 😜 only.
Perfect advice
Lot of advise there in comments already.
Can help if you want sde 2 referral at Razorpay
Sometimes it takes 3-4 months , had a few colleagues leave job , they had to wait for the calls , try not to take it as a failure. You might be feeling stuck . Happens sometimes . Try a freelancing opportunity and pick some skill set , you might not earn much , but it will give you some exposure. Some times people get delayed results bht does not mean it’s denied .
On the same boat as you.
Stay strong. I knew a Google guy being laid off and not landing a job for at least 2-3 months. So I think 2 months is pretty usual. When I started trying for a switch last time (while in Job), it took me almost 8-10 months to get an offer. So I don’t think 2 months is any time to get demotivated.
About platforms, I would suggest to also try focussing on new organisations setting up bace. For ex, go to talent500 website, filter for these new companies which are opening in Hyderabad in recent times- Marriott, Inspire Brands, Evernorth, FedEx, McDonald etc. If you know other such companies setting up newly in other cities too, you could try for them also. Trying for these will at least have higher chances to get you an offer, rest aspects you can think later.
Go out and make friends. Join hobby classes and communities with different people, go interact and make friends over time.
