Python backend developer getting very few relevant interview calls, what am I doing wrong?
I’ve been applying for almost four months but am still receiving very few relevant interview calls. Even when I do get calls, the roles often do not match my actual backend experience, and the salary offered is usually the same as or only slightly higher than my last CTC.
I’m trying to understand whether the issue is my profile positioning, experience level, salary expectations, or application strategy. I’m looking for genuine advice from people familiar with the current backend hiring market.
Experience: 4+ years
Last CTC: ₹19.25 LPA
Tech stack: Python, Django, FastAPI, Flask, SQL, AWS, Docker, Redis, Celery, and working knowledge of React.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
