I've shared all the application links and details in this week's The First Pass newsletter, completely free. Anyone can access it.

If you find these roundups useful, feel free to subscribe. It helps me keep finding and sharing opportunities like these with the community.

I know many of you already know them. But still, I thought let's help those who may not have an idea.

Method 1 - LinkedIn but not LinkedIn Jobs

Go to LinkedIn search. Type "Hiring [ROLE NAME]" or "Looking for [ROLE NAME]" Switch the filter to Posts. Set date to Past 24 Hours.

For example, "Hiring software engineer intern" or "Looking for AI intern." You get the idea.

You will get a lot of underrated jobs, and sometimes within minutes of the HR/founder posting. This is great for finding startup jobs.

Check manually. It has some spam posts as well, but keep scrolling. It takes 10 minutes and I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

Method 2 - The Google search trick

Every company hosts their open roles on some website like Greenhouse, Lever, Workday, Ashby, BambooHR, etc. Many times, they are indexed by google itself.

So open Google and type:

site:ashbyhq.com ("product manager" AND "bangalore")

or

site:jobs.lever.co ("founding engineer" OR "ai intern") AND ("remote")

Another tip - Use Google's time filters

Once youve searched, use Google's Tools -> Any time filter and set it as past 24 hours or past week.

This helps in finding fresh postings. I use them to find newly posted roles for my newsletter.

Good luck!

A post for people who get intimidated seeing the number of applicants on various platforms. You know it. A vacancy or post go viral on LinkedIn and boom it has 500+ applicants.

Now, that can be scary, even if you have been putting effort day and night.

But from what I've seen, only 1 or 2 of those 500 get hired. The majority just apply lazy because the competition looks too high, or never take the shot in the first place.

For the last 7 months, Ive built a free newsletter to help college peeps find opportunities buried deep in the internet all over India. Ive crossed 500+ subs now.

Let me share the real numbers from my Substack dashboard (Substack natively allows you to check open rates, engagement rates etc). From my 7 months of data, only 25 to 35% actually open an issue, and of that maybe 60–70% apply to even one vacancy.

That's your REAL competition. It's the 10 or 20 people who keep showing up everyday, and keep applying. The catch is - the people who are good eventually find something and stop applying. That's when the competition reduces and you become the next best candidate.

If you're looking for your next moonshot, don't obsess over the obvious FAANG posting. Start small. Apply consistently. Eventually, become the person your dream company can't ignore.

i see a lot of people post about how their company is making them work as a full time while paying them peanuts. Especially the so called "lala" companies. Toxic culture, unrealistic expectations and ofc this results in constant anxiety and panic attacks for us.

So i spent some time collecting such experiences on reddit, and used my own experiences to write a full checklist to check and catch these lala companies and small startups.

Some red flags u should be careful of:

1. No funding or runway
2. You're the only person in your function
3. You're expected to run an entire department alone
4. Founders haven't built anything before
5. Leadership is concentrated in one person
6. Employees don't stick around
7. Lots of announcements, few actual customers
8. Nobody can explain what success looks like
9. You don't believe in what they're building

None of these are hard and fast rules tho. A company can have a few of these traits and still be an absolutely fine place to work for. These are just some things u can use to compare offers/culture for yourself. For the sake of ur own mental health.

i wrote a full breakdown on the "whys" or the reasoning behind these rules, and how i research startups before joining them in my blog. If anyone's interested, i can drop the link.

Also, if anyone wants to add something here from their experience, spill the tea lol.

2026 graduate here who got multiple internships and also had a freelancing business. I am thinking of creating something evergreen and resourceful for the community. I plan to share my perspectives and knowledge on things like:

• Right way and templates to cold DM founders
• Asking for referrals for company vacancies
• Negotiating an offer without getting lowballed

I believe the answers exist on the internet, but they're usually spread across Reddit comments, old blog posts, someone's tweets from 2017, and random discussions here and there.

So I'm thinking of creating free, deeply-researched guides/resources around these topics. Using my knowledge, what worked for me and my friends (sharing screenshots, experiences of how they DMed people and got responses etc).

Would you actually read something like this? And if yes, what topic would you want covered first?

I started a free newsletter to help people find good internships and fresher jobs.

Basically, i made what i wish i had in my college days (2026 passout here). After 5 months, what I didn't expect was who would actually find it useful.

The people who read (and apply) in every issue of the newsletter are already interning somewhere. Sometimes they have a full time offer. Sometimes their next move is lined up.

And yet theyre still looking. Their hunger hasnt gone down and they are still checking their options. I think i finally understood why some people stay ahead and some dont.

Because one of the biggest career lessons ive learned is that the people who eventually get the best opportunities dont start searching when they need one. Theyre searching long before that. For example, for a summer internship, ambitious people are applying a year before and freaking out when they hear crickets.

They treat opportunity like a habit, something you have to look for everyday even when everything is fine. This is the ONLY way to increase your luck's surface area.

For people reading this, keep sending that one extra application when everyone else has mentally checked out. If you need something 3 months from now, apply today. Dont sit idle.

Is this a typo? I hope so. They pay well to people from other countries (including third world countries) and even paid indians a lot more in the past. What is this $1? Do they actually have no respect for us?

I feel like most Indian students are don't know (or care) about the YC startup ecosystem. We know about the big MNCs, and we are desperate for FAANG.

But there’s a whole world of fast-moving startups and ideas being built globally, where founders in their 20s are leading teams, and shipping features overnight.

This is my attempt to share more of that world with other students too, starting with the most known one - Y Combinator.

YC = Y Combinator. A startup "accelerator" (think a firm that writes small cheques to great ideas) based in San Francisco that funded companies like Airbnb, Stripe, Reddit, Razorpay, and Zepto when they were tiny.

YC is more about the mindset than money.

Build fast. Launch before you feel ready. Talk to users constantly. Fix things while they’re breaking. That’s why so many YC startup stories sound so tuff when you dig deeper.

For example, Stripe rebuilt huge parts of the company multiple times early on. Airbnb founders sold cereal boxes to keep the product running. Not sure about you, but to me that is badass.

And when you work at a YC startup early, you feel that culture to ship, grow, and get to the top immediately. You’re not sitting around waiting for your manager to give you instructions (and lets be real they probably used AI to make the product doc). You take decisions on your own, build your way, and there's no one you report to other than the founders.

I think a lot of students in India underestimate how valuable this environment can be, especially if you are willing to start something of your own some day. Everyone knows the big names after they become successful.

The challenge is finding them before that happens.
