Roast my resume along with some help and suggestions
Hi, I’m a 2025 passout student, but I started working full-time on a contract basis before graduation since I was free during my 4th year.
At that time, I was still in college, so I thought I was getting enough money (₹20k/month).
Later, I shifted to another company looking for growth, but unfortunately, it didn’t turn out well. I worked there for the same salary as my previous company, expecting to get converted to full-time with at least a 6 LPA package. But after 6 months, they offered only 4 LPA, which came to around ₹27k in hand. Now the company is struggling, and I’m not satisfied with my salary, so I left and have been looking for another opportunity since the middle of last month.
I know it’s only been around 15 days, but I still haven’t gotten a single response. I’m applying through LinkedIn and Wellfound.
Is there any issue with my resume, or am I just not good enough for the current market?
Currently, I’m working part-time at my first company for ₹25k/month. I’m spending the remaining time on preparation and upskilling.
I know DSA plays a big role in getting a job, especially during college placements, but I kept procrastinating because I was always more interested in building stuff than solving problems. I’m regretting that a bit now.
Right now, I’m solving 2 problems a day (NeetCode), learning system design from the System Design Primer, and trying to build products on my own. I recently started a prompt-to-video project and a LinkedIn agentic automation project using Claude Code and OpenCode. I’m also learning new things related to agentic AI roles. For now, I’m neglecting framework- or language-specific topics because I don’t think they’ll help much in this AI era.
What am I missing? Am I doing the right things or going in the wrong direction? How can I land a job? I’m expecting around 8–10 LPA right now. Is that too hard in the current market conditions?
How can i get a job 😭?
