Just final cry...

Is the Indian Tech market is really dead?? Or it's dead just for me as I am a teir 2 college student...

I did every possible thing

- they say make projects i did

- they say make open source contribution i did and I even went ahead contributed as gsoc contributor as well

- they say explore opportunities i did

- they say participate in hackathon it did

-they say grind leetcode i did

- they say if do cold mail I did

- they say have ats of more than 90 I did

What am I really missing? What else should I do juts to get a job as a fresher with decent package? I mean I am even okey with the rejections but these fuc\*\*\*\* ghosting is the thing that pisses me off.

Been strong for about 6 to 8 months tried more and more just to get ghosted by ats bots or hrs.

I mean even after surviving this phase some how and not loosing your mental sanity you survive just to be laid off one day and replaced by someone who is no way near your skills just beacuse they are lucky or even worse to be replacedby a machine???

Maybe that's the most depressing part.

It starts making you wonder if ambition even matters anymore.

Maybe in this market, you're supposed to just take whatever you can get, put your head down, have no expectations, and hope that if you're lucky, things get better with time.

Now honestly I even dont know what to say, I dont even want to take any advise now i guess I am at my lowest and just wanted to thank everyone who supported me throughout this journey and all the very best to all those who are still going on...

Just a final cry of a GSoC Contributor

Some context about me- i am a student from a teir 2 college from a teir 2 city and i have worked with many tech stack one of them being native mobile dev (my main stack).

I started coding in 2022 just after my jee advance paper for a while learned the basics for web dev and started to get serious in 2nd year of my college started dsa, hackathons, participated in GSoC, LFX and many other programs but nothing made out. 3rd year of college I was fortunate enough to work for an open source organization under GSoC and after have been applying through many different portals, have applied in somewhere about 500 different posts and only 2 responded back (hackerRank and Amazon) with OA one needed a different stack and other never responded about 2 months after the oa and am still waiting.

Now my faith has shattered and now i am leaning to leave this side of tech and try something else maybe look for a career somewhere else, where at least they respond back with rejection.

Just wanted to thank everyone from this community as it has really given me a lot.

One piece of advice if you are like me who needs a decent package and not some penny like 5LPA woth 3 years of contract then makeup your mind it might be a long long battel for you as well

I have given OA for this post on 28 March and am still waiting for any response, on the portal it says Under Consideration.

What is the waiting time for this?
