something people rarely admit - Social proof runs the hiring market

Yep. Let that sink in for a bit. The "Open to Work" badge never got the respect it deserved. Facts as Facts. Some Recruiters & Hiring Managers saw it and thought.. - Nice - they're available : Lets capitalise - Okay - they're available : Lets see where they fit Others? They judged it. Hard. Period. Point is.. The moment you LOOK like you're struggling, people assume you are the problem. If you are at the end of the rope... No job in months. Savings running dry. Rejections piling up You need to signal to the market that you need a job NOW. What do you do? A "Desperate as Hell" badge? (clearly the "Open to Work" badge did not work) A cry-for-help LinkedIn post with CFBR comments? A profile banner that says "Will work for Food" or "fati padi hai.."? Guess what happens next?? You could be the most skilled candidate in the world or a rather decent one at your craft and domain, but if you are out here making public SOS signals.. People weirdly process them as.. - Wait… why hasn't anyone hired them yet? - Maybe they're not as good as they say - Why do they have to advertise it? Good people don't need to - They must be struggling if they're making it that obvious - If they were truly talented, they wouldn’t be in this position Now, instead of getting more interviews, you've tanked your own value Because hiring is NOT about who needs it the most It's about who looks like they DON'T need it at all Because in hiring, being too available makes you look LESS valuable You need a job - but you can’t look like you need one That's how messed up this game is If you're unemployed but confident? People are skeptical If you're unemployed and desperate? You're radioactive & a hot mess If you're still employed? Now... suddenly, everyone wants to talk You need to be desperate enough to keep applying, but not desperate enough that people can see it. You have to struggle in silence because the moment the market SEES you struggling, it assumes you are the problem Know why?? Because hiring is built on supply and demand, not fairness I'm saying it is what it is .. unfortunately. On the flip side, I know people who have been out of work for 8 months and still refuse to adjust. - I only want remote - I'm not taking a pay cut - I won't move domain let's get this straight - You're losing the game but refuse to change your playbook. You are drowning but won't grab onto anything that isn't their dream job. How smart 🤦‍♂️ Remember this : The system selectively rewards talent It rewards the people who know how to be wanted If you don't learn how to manufacture demand for yourself, you will always be at the mercy of those who do Now.. lets talk about badge color and badge ideas. Who's up?

Don't settle for less!

I wanted to share my journey where I ended up joining Microsoft after 1 year of preparation and struggle. I was working at a big MNC (tier 2) for over 3 years on the same project solving similar issues and was feeling stuck. My dream was to join a tier1 level company at that time. It was during this time that I wanted to make a career switch so I started studying at the start of 2024. I applied to a number of companies, applied for over 200+ positions and received an interview call for 6 of them. Whatever be the thing I couldn't clear the rounds of most of the companies and was feeling rejected. At this point of time I cleared interview of a mid sized startup for data engineering role. I accepted solely because I wanted to leave my current company despite the fact that I wasn't getting a lot of hike. I was happy but not satisfied! I joined the company and within a few months i realised that this is not something I want. I started preparing again, this time with more will and grit. I understood why i failed the earlier interviews and what I was missing. This gave me the confidence to appear well in my next set of interview. This confidence and hard work helped me get into Microsoft. So if you are struggling in your current job or are not feeling it's right just keep working hard 💪 DON'T SETTLE FOR LESS!
