r/FresherTechJobsIndia

I’m a 2025 graduate who has wasted a year at home due to lack of consistency. I know React and Tailwind, but my projects are tutorial-based. It’s June 2026 and the pressure from "peeps" at home is a nightmare.

I have an offer from a 15-person startup at Hyderabad.

Stipend: ₹0 (1st month) -> ₹4k/m (for next 3m ) -> ₹6k/m

Expense: ₹10k/month (Rent+Food+Travel).

Projects: possibly MERN stack.

I’m also seeing my friends pay ₹50k-60k for coaching centers that I think are selling fake certificates.

My Plan:

Join from June 1st, stay for 5 months, build real skills, attend every free tech event for swags/networking, and then "hop" to a 15k-20k role or a 4-5 LPA job.

Is this legit? Or am I being a "dumbass" by paying to work for someone else? Is it better to be a "Software Intern" on LinkedIn for 6 months than to have a "Coaching Certificate"?

Please be brutal. I need a wake-up call.

Hii everyone,

I recently got a call from a small IT company in Surat for a fresher software developer role. They are asking me to sign a bond and submit:
• a blank signed cheque
• my original 12th marksheet

I understand companies want security because many freshers leave early, but asking for both together feels risky to me.

As a fresher, I really need experience and the current job market is already difficult, so I’m confused whether this is a normal practice in small IT companies or a major red flag.

🚨All companys in Surat asking for bond each and every company.

Has anyone here faced something similar?
Did you accept it or avoid the company?

Would genuinely appreciate honest advice from people working in IT.

TL;DR: 2025 grad with ~1.5 YOE left multiple roles hoping for better opportunities, but faced burnout, offer revocations, ghosting after verbal confirmations, and poor work environments. Despite consistently clearing interviews and getting offers, repeated bad timing/decisions led to a 5-month career gap. Now looking for a stable engineering role and advising freshers not to resign early without a solid next opportunity.

Hi folks,

I am a 2025 grad with 10.5 months of Intern experience and 6 months of FTE. Back in college I was above the lot and participated in many activities, got an offer for Internship on-campus and spent most of final year there, hoping I would get a good package when I get converted to full time, but things went downhill in the second half of my internship and they offered a pretty low package, then I resigned hoping I would get a better offer. (First bad decision)

Then within 15 days I was able to grab two offers, through referrals and then I eventually joined in one. It was a startup and there was a lot of learning at the first and a senior engineer helped me a lot, I got stronghold of my fundamentals there and stayed for 6 months, but the work hours was insane. I was working for around 16 hours a day, across two different timezones and attending 2 stand-ups daily. The task delegation was very poor, because I saw some employees coming to the office simply winding away the time and going out. At this point, I was exhausted even though there was a lot of learning involved and I quit hoping to take a break and continue or to choose a different career path. (Second bad decision)

Then for 1 month I didn't do anything and was under complete rest, then started the job hunt, I didn't plan for doing any masters because at that moment all the admissions were over. Then I started up-skilling myself, built a good resume then started applying to many orgs, immediately within 20-25 days of applying was able to secure 3 offers. Offer details attached.

Company A - midsized company - 200-300 employees - could sense toxic management - onsite - 5% increase from my prev salary

Company B - early stage US startup - 5-10 employees - good management & peer team - complete remote - 10% dec from base salary

Company C - early stage US startup - 5-10 employees - got offer for only intern position

So I chose company B over all these. During my joining when I read through the agreement then only I came to know that there is a decrease in my base salary itself, because I was pretty sure that my base salary remained the same and on top of it my performance bonus was added, when I asked the HR she was blaming me the whole time that I didn't understand the offer properly, so they revoked the offer, since I was not satisfied, they didn't even invite me for a discussion. At this point, I already dropped the offers from Company A & C. (Joining Company B was my third bad decision). Hoping I would get a better offer soon.

Then some time passed by I was passively interviewing because I was in a dilemma, whether to continue. Then attended some interview in which most of the people ghosted me. Then came another company, it was a AI company and I started giving the interview there were totally 3 rounds and a final co-founder round. The tech rounds went well, but the co-founder grilled me on STAR principles, prev. exp etc., then he said he'll inform the HR to rollout the offer and offered a verbal confirmation. I even sent all my pay-slips, etc, for rolling out the offer. Then the HR started ghosting me, I initially didn't sense it and stopped applying to other companies and even skipped a interview (fourth bad decision), because already the co-founder gave confirmation. But the HR after two-weeks said that my position was put on hold, the interview process stretched for a month long. Lost all my hope again and hit 4 month career break.

Started applying rigorously again, then got around two to three leads, finally was able to land an offer at an Indian startup with no increase in my base but offered some performance bonus and equity. The founder was pretty chill and young, finally thought that I landed a perfect role, only to visit the company and see it was a like a dungeon, where no one cared even for a new joiner, and gave a laptop like a brick, which was a pretty old and asked me to build in it, since my onboarding has not been done yet, I declined the offer immediately and left. (fifth bad decision was accepting this offer and wasting my money relocating there)

I've lost all my hope at this point and don't know where to search for a job again, I've exhausted all my connections, getting no-replies for all my cold-dms through LinkedIn, wherever I am applying they are asking for 2-3 years of exp. All this time I thought that the next decision would be right for me but all of that ended up pretty bad. Any suggestion on how to continue my job search would be much appreciated.

For folks who have less than 1 yoe, do not leave/resign unless you have a good company with a good hike, however toxic the management can be.

Anyone facing or already gone trough this please reply.

If anyone has any open positions of SDE or data analyst, please refer or help out in any shape or form.

So I basically passed out this year few days ago and I'm just spiralling, I'm from a tier 1-2ish college and like almost every other person is placed somewhere, my close friends group is placed in good MNCs and here I'm struggling to get even a single interview.

The place where i messed up was my cgpa, even though I developed good coding skills, I was still not allowed to sit for most of the campus placements, so where people landed their first jobs after giving 10 20 interviews, here I haven't even had a chance to give a single interview. Please I'm spiralling help out peeps !!

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.

1. Customer support job at Tech mahindra (day shift)

2. Work at BDA( banglore development authority).Govt job. Its just random office work like documents scanning and stuff. Very chill and zero stress. 23k salary .

3. Gave an interview at a startup for software trainee role. They haven't updated yet if I'm selected or not, but I mostly am, though its not confirmed yet.

I'm interested in coding, but I have not had much luck getting a software job, couldn't even get an internship despite trying and having done a few projects too.

I have really insane pressure from parents, mom is constantly pressurising to marry even though I'm not interested(desi girl problems). They don't support me financially much as well, I have to beg for even basic stuff.

So I’m writing this out of pure frustration and anxiety.

Last year after struggling a lot, I finally got placed into one of the reputed SBCs. Initially things seemed good. I was trained in Salesforce for around 4 months and honestly the training structure was pretty decent. We even built a hands-on project during training, so I thought things were finally moving in the right direction.

But now it’s been more than 2 months since the training ended and I still haven’t been allocated to any actual project.

Earlier we were told that after training we would gradually get pulled into projects, but whenever I ask the POCs/managers now, they just say things like “keep upskilling”, “do certifications”, “it takes time”, etc.

What scared me even more is that I got to know there are people in the company with 10–12 months tenure who are STILL on bench without any real project exposure. From what I’m seeing, it genuinely feels like I’m heading in the same direction.

My biggest fear is ending up with “1 year of experience” on paper but almost no real industry experience practically. I feel like that would make switching extremely difficult later.

Recently they asked me to start learning Salesforce DevOps, especially Copado, and now they’re also mentioning Azure DevOps. The problem is they aren’t providing any proper KT/training for it. Whatever material they shared is very inadequate, and honestly there aren’t many good beginner-friendly resources online either.

Right now I just feel confused about where things are going. One day it’s Salesforce Admin, then DevOps, then Copado, then Azure DevOps. I’m trying to learn everything but without actual work exposure it’s becoming mentally exhausting.

Is this normal in SBCs for freshers? Has anyone gone through something similar and still managed to recover career-wise later?

Today I had the tcs nqt exam, I did apti pretty decently and solved both the coding problems and passed all public test cases but hidden test cases were failing. But I forgot to Final Submit the 1st coding question. Will it be Auto submitted or it is a waste of my time and hard work. Please tell me, if anyone faced the same situation and what happened to those unsubmitted problems

Hi everyone,

I am a diploma student in Information Technology from Government Polytechnic Ghaziabad. A few days ago I came to Noida with hope to find a job or internship. I spent almost 3–4 days going here and there, giving resumes, asking people, checking companies and trying my best.

In these 4 days I spent around 4000 rupees on room, food and travel, but still couldn’t get any opportunity. Honestly, it feels bad and frustrating because living in Noida is expensive and pressure is high when you are trying to build your career.

So now I am returning to my college town for some time. But I am not giving up. I will come back next month with more knowledge, more skills, more confidence and better preparation.

Currently I know basics of SQL, databases and IT concepts. I am also a fast learner and ready to work hard. If anyone can guide me about:

internships

fresher jobs

IT support roles

backend/database related work

resume improvement

or skills I should focus on

then please help me with advice.

Right now this phase is difficult, but I believe one day these struggles will be worth it.

Thanks for reading..

Hey everyone – I'm a marketing intern at Careers360. My task is to collect genuine college reviews from students and alumni (any college, any stream).

I've tried texting classmates and posting on Reddit, but I'm only getting 1 review for every 10 'yes' responses. People say they'll help, but then they don't follow through.

Has anyone here successfully gotten students to fill out surveys or reviews? What actually worked for you?

I'm not posting a link or asking for reviews here — just genuinely looking for advice on how to approach this.

Thanks in advance!

I’m applying for the Forward Deployed Engineer, GenAI role at Google Cloud (early career)and was wondering if anyone would be open to a referral/help.
