Help me out
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I honestly need some advice.
I graduated recently in Mechanical Engineering from NIT Warangal. If someone had asked me a year ago what I'd be doing after graduation, GTM Engineering would've probably been the last answer.
I started off learning data analytics because I enjoyed working with data. I spent months learning SQL, Python, Excel, Power BI, Tableau... hoping I'd get into an analyst role.
Instead, I got an internship as a GTM Engineer at a startup.
I almost didn't apply because I had no idea what GTM Engineering even meant. But I took the chance, and it turned out to be one of the best learning experiences I've had.
I worked on ICP building, cleaning and validating huge datasets, Apollo, Clay, Crunchbase, Serper, a bit of n8n automation, testing different ways of finding companies, figuring out why automations failed, and basically spending hours understanding companies instead of just ticking boxes.
The funny thing is... I actually enjoyed it. I liked solving those problems. I liked that every week I was learning something new.
Now the internship is over, and I'm back to applying.
And honestly... it's been rough.
I wake up, open LinkedIn, apply, send connection requests, ask for referrals, refresh my email, sleep, and repeat the same thing the next day. Some days I feel like I'm making progress. Most days it just feels like I'm shouting into the void.
I'm not someone with 2-3 years of experience. I'm just a fresher who happened to get exposure to a field that I genuinely want to continue in.
I'm looking for GTM Engineering, RevOps, GTM Ops, Sales Ops, Business Ops or even Data/Business Analyst roles. Bangalore, Hyderabad or remote works for me.
If you've been in a similar situation or know companies that hire freshers for these kinds of roles, I'd genuinely appreciate any advice or leads.
Thanks for reading.
