2025 B.Tech graduate struggling to get a tech job — need practical guidance from experienced people
Hi everyone,
I graduated in 2025 with a B.Tech in CSE/AI. My college had no proper placements because we were the first batch.
I did a 3–4 month remote internship where I worked on backend development and Docker, but the pay was very low and the company is no longer active. After that, due to financial pressure, I had to take a BPO job paying around ₹20k/month. I was supporting my family from that income, but the work schedule was affecting my sleep and health badly.
I recently moved to Delhi to look for a tech job. It has been 4 days here, but I am not getting responses and my confidence is going down. My family’s financial situation is very difficult, and I don’t have enough time or resources to keep searching for months.
My skills:
JavaScript, React, Node.js, Express.js
Backend basics, REST APIs
Docker, Redis
SQL / database fundamentals — currently revising deeply
C++ DSA practice
Some AI/ML projects, including GANs and deep learning
I am looking for a realistic 20–30k/month tech job as soon as possible — frontend, backend, full-stack intern/junior role, support engineer, QA/manual testing, technical support, or anything close to tech where I can grow.
I don’t want sympathy. I need practical advice from experienced people:
What should I focus on in the next 7 days?
Which roles should I target for faster hiring?
How should I approach recruiters or companies directly?
Is my skill set enough for an entry-level role?
If anyone has gone through something similar, how did you handle it?
I am not giving up, but I feel stuck and need guidance from people who understand the industry.
Thank you.
