Looking for full time SDE opportunities as a 2026 grad
I completed by Btech from a NIT this June, I also completed an internship in a FAANG, did not get the ppo, now I have infosys(dse- joining in coming months) and global logic(joining in feb)
now both these are paying very much low, I earned almost same as their ctc in 6 months internship and now i'm supposed to go there and earn 1/3 of my stipend in one month, I'm trying hard applying everywhere but I don't see much openings for 2026 passouts most of them are for 1+ year exp or asking me to do intern + ppo (again the same gamble) and that too in like 25/30k
I'm really desparate for a good job, since I started my career so high, I'm unable to process that now I will have to work for 1/3 of the money, Ik the job market is bad and I'm not planning on skipping on these two I have them so I will join I don't have anyother options
But i genuinely wannna know why do companies hire interns for 6 months if they don't convert them
I feel like I'm going from riches to rag, for 6 months I lived comfortably did what i wanted to do, worked my ass off and here I'm back at home staring at an offer letter that makes me resent the whole point of working so hard only to end up in a city where this much money would barely help me survive.
So if you happen to know about any company that is willing to hire a 2026 batch passout with only internship experience do let me know I will be thankful for you
