I was thinking to just leave the tech industry because its a exhausting process to land a 30 to 40k job. I will try for some managerial roles. I have been trying to get a job for 3 years now. Did some paid/unpaid internships also but never converted to a full time job. Senior level roles are still having some some recruitment but they are also struggling. There are lakhs and lakhs of candidates of 2023-2026 competing for the same job and then there's AI above all of it. And people who are doing some job have no idea what's happening with us guys. They just advice us to be patient keep applying. Keep up skilling. I am learning RAG , automation LLMs. I have a 6 months + dev experience . What more these companies need.

Okay, this is going to be a little personal, but I genuinely don’t know what else to do.
I’m 21F, graduated 5 months ago with a BTech in CSE (AI/ML), and I still haven’t been able to get a job.
I’ve been applying constantly but it’s just rejection after rejection or no response at all. And now my parents have basically told me that if I don’t get a job by the end of this year, they’ll start looking for marriage prospects for me.
I REALLY don’t want to get married. 😭
I know that sounds dramatic, but it genuinely feels like a deadline has been put on my life. I don’t want to spend the next few years at home waiting for someone to decide who I should marry. I want to work, become independent and move out.
I’m specifically looking for opportunities in Bengaluru or Hyderabad because honestly, getting a job away from home is kind of my biggest goal right now.
A little about me: I have a BTech in CSE (AI/ML), know Python, have worked with AI tools and automation, and I also have internship experience as an AI Intern, where I worked on Python, APIs, automation and AI/ML-related use cases. I’ve also built projects including a RAG chatbot and other ML projects.
I’m completely okay with starting as a fresher/junior and learning on the job. I’m not expecting some crazy 20 LPA role. I just need a legitimate opportunity where I can get my foot in the door.
So if anyone here knows of:
Fresher/junior AI/ML or Python openings
AI automation roles
Software/tech roles where a CSE fresher could fit
Startups hiring in Bengaluru/Hyderabad
Anyone who can refer me or point me towards a recruiter
PLEASE let me know.
I’m genuinely willing to work very hard. I just need someone to give me a chance.
And yes, the motivation is unfortunately very much “get a job or get married” at this point. 💀
Please help this girl escape the arranged-marriage pipeline and enter the employment pipeline instead. 😭

I was recently on the job hunt for a while, and in the meantime, I have compiled a few Excel sheets with a lot of contact details of many folks. I wanted to work at a startup, so I am targeting that. If you are also targeting working at a startup, then this resource may be helpful to you. I got a job from one of the startups on this list. It is not full-time, but it is still something. If you are also looking for something, I highly recommend using this list and writing cold emails to them if something catches your eye.

Hi all. I'm 24M and my wife 23F is quite sad about her career. For context she did B.Tech in CSE with me and was the gold medalist of her batch. In the third year she prepared for Accenture along with me but she didn't get selected while I got selected. I however rejected the offer later due to personal reasons.

After failing Accenture she felt really depressed because she studied a lot for it. She was dropped off after the final round. Fast forward to fourth year. She got an internship at a local startup and she referred me there. It was later converted to a fulltime job. Now this company is kind of a LALA company and I worked there for 1.5 years at just 3LPA before switching to a company in another city which pays more than 2 × of the old company. My wife is still there stuck at 3LPA. The company has just promised appraisal to all the employees and haven't paid the salary of two months due to financial trouble.

I referred my wife to my new company and she did two interviews here but didn't get selected. The first interview was taken by a person ik at the company who is quite famous for lying and trying to avoid any responsibility.

Her second round was way better than the first and was taken by someone else. Both rounds were technical.

She got a message today from the HR saying that the feedback was not positive and she isn't selected. She was quite happy for 2-3 days because we both thought she would get selected and she was really shining. And I'm sure now she'll again be really sad about it. She may not say it to me but I would feel it.

She sometimes opens up to me on how sad she is with her career life. She has really good dreams.

Currently she's doing MBA in BA from Amity Online and is in second semester.

I tell her to study coding at home when she's free but she just feels like what's the use if I am not getting any interview calls and all.

I really don't know how to motivate her.

She has had hobbies before like drawing but she stopped it due to religious reasons. She doesn't have hobbies anymore. When she isn't working she is simply laying in bed and watching YouTube or some reality shows like lockupp and bigg boss. I normally don't like any of these shows. But I don't stop her because she likes it.

She used to love to travel in the city but now she doesn't like that too. She's happy with us being married (it was my love marriage).

I just want her to find a good job or something that will keep her happy and help her achieve her dreams.

Her job profile:

Full Stack Developer

MERN + NextJS with Applied AI

Prefers WFH or hybrid in NCR or LKO.

I would love any suggestions.

TL;DR: My wife is a gold-medalist CSE graduate currently stuck in a 3 LPA job despite having good skills and an MBA in progress. After another recent interview rejection, she's losing motivation. How can I support her, and what can she do to improve her career prospects in NCR/Lucknow?

For months, off-campus candidates have been told the same thing:

"Wait."

Wait for stream allocation.

Wait for training.

Wait for assessments.

Wait for results.

Wait for RT1.

Wait for RT2.

Wait for October 12.

And every time one milestone is completed, another waiting date appears.

At what point do we stop waiting and start asking legitimate questions?

Many of us received our Offer Letters around 7 months ago.

By November–December, a large number of off-campus candidates will be approaching ONE YEAR since entering this hiring process.

One year.

Think about that for a second.

An entire year of uncertainty.

An entire year of career plans being put on hold.

An entire year of answering relatives, friends, and parents who keep asking the same question:

"When is your joining?"

And the truth is... we don't know.

What makes the situation even harder to understand is that we are now seeing on-campus candidates receiving GearUp mails and DOJs of 11 December.

Congratulations to them. They earned it.

But naturally, this raises a question:

What is the status of the thousands of off-campus candidates who have completed every requirement asked of them?

We didn't disappear.

We didn't quit the process.

We completed training.

We completed assessments.

We received results.

We followed every instruction given to us.

Yet we still have no clear onboarding timeline.

This is no longer about impatience.

It's about transparency.

Nobody is asking Accenture to onboard everyone tomorrow.

Nobody is asking for special treatment.

We're asking for something much simpler:

A clear update.

Even a communication saying:

"Your profile is still under consideration. Expected onboarding window is X."

would be better than months of complete silence.

The most painful part is watching the goalposts move again and again.

Every few weeks a new date appears.

Every few weeks candidates convince themselves that "this is the date when everything will change."

And when nothing happens, another date replaces it.

How long can this continue?

Until January?

Until February?

Beyond one year?

Many candidates rejected or delayed other opportunities because they trusted this process.

Many have been sitting at home for months waiting for the onboarding that was expected long ago.

That is why this is a wake-up call for off-campus candidates.

Not to spread negativity.

Not to attack anyone.

Not to spam.

But to respectfully and professionally ask for clarity.

Because after 7 months of waiting and with some candidates nearing one full year in this hiring process, we deserve to know where we stand.

If enough candidates send polite emails requesting an onboarding update, at the very least it reminds the company that thousands of off-campus candidates are still waiting for communication.

Silence hasn't given us answers.

Maybe it's time we ask for them.

Companies create fake job posting for freshers and Hr often waste my time after clearing all the rounds they say position are filled.

I am a 2026 B.E. graduate with 8 pointer and completed 3 decent internships and I got 1 internship at good mnc but was only of 3 months so in total i have 8 months of experience thru internships. I have sent 1000+ applications to specific desired role and any fresher role except sales and bpo

After trying and working so hard I did received 15+ referrals but I think referrals wont work for freshers, So after this all I came with a plan

If I fake my experience to 2 years I will atleast get hr calls and then I will ask them about frehers opening at their firm. As they did ignore my resume for months, so could I pull up this trick and see what happens?

As I want to get out of caged mind and see if this would take me anywhere

Hello everyone, greetings of the day.
As the title suggest, I have joined this company as a fresher in the month of August 2025. Was directly kept on bench without training. Repeatedly asked manager for roles or work, but he/she always declined me by saying that there is no opening for freshers for current account. In this 1.2 years, I was so confused to which domain to choose. As I was not trained in any technology, I was kinda lost, which is somewhere my own mistakes and transponibility. Now as I have completed one year, I believe I could receive HR call anytime. I kind of confuse between GEN Ai and Java spring. Please help me with this

Hi everyone, as a fresher I’ll be joining a Software Engineer role in Bangalore. I only know the CTC right now: ~₹12.2 LPA fixed (variable extra). I don’t know the exact in-hand, so if anyone can tell me roughly how much it comes to, that’d help.

I’m from a different state, so I’ll have to travel back home regularly too, which adds to the cost (trains/flights, festivals, etc.).

Would this be comfortable for a fresher living alone? Would love to hear from people who’ve been through this. Thanks! 🙏

I did my graduation in 2024 in CS from a tier 3 institute, I also did a CDAC course from Feb 2026 to Aug 2026 from Sunbeam Pune, I have five calls left but I'm getting increasingly worried about my future. Is there anything that I can honestly do? This has taken a very big hit on my self esteem, even when I try to learn new things, I can't really learn it because my brain is focused on my unemployment. Anyone who went through the same phase, please tell me what can I do?

I’m in my 4th year, and campus placements are ongoing, but I’m still unplaced. I’m getting increasingly anxious and would appreciate advice from students or alumni with firsthand experience, especially from previous batches:

1. How many tech companies typically visit after this stage ( from Oct mid to Feb )?

2. Until which month do tech companies usually recruit on campus?

3. Which tech companies might realistically come next and any mass hirings ?

4. Is there still a realistic chance of getting placed through campus?

5. What should I do now, beyond LeetCode and projects, to improve my chances?

I’m only interested in tech roles, not sales or marketing.

Should I stay hopeful and keep preparing, or focus more heavily on off-campus opportunities?

Any honest advice or firsthand experience would be appreciated.

Also if anyone knows will tcs be coming again( if yes then for which roles ) ?

I’ve been searching for my first job in web development for quite some time now, applying through LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and other job portals, but I’m still unable to get an opportunity.
I’m looking for \*\*Junior Web Developer / Front-End Developer / Web Developer (Fresher)\*\* roles.
Honestly, the constant rejections and lack of responses have been really discouraging. If anyone can share a job lead, referral, or even some guidance on what I could improve, I’d genuinely appreciate it.
I’ve attached/shared my resume. Any help would mean a lot. 🙏

Hey everyone, I am a 2026 B.Tech graduate and I am currently applying for off-campus fresher roles. I am extremely anxious about how mass recruiters (TCS, Infosys, Accenture, etc.) calculate gap years and whether I will clear their eligibility filters. Here is my exact academic timeline:

• 10th Pass: 2019

• 12th Pass: 2021

• B.Tech Pass: 2026 (I took a 1-year drop between school and college for entrance preparation).

• Current Status: It has been about 150 days since graduation and I am actively job hunting. My main worry is how the portals calculate this. Do they combine the school drop year and my post-graduation job search days together? Will my 1-year drop year cause rejections in background verification (BGV), or do I fit within the standard 2-year academic gap rule? If anyone from the 2026 batch or someone who recently cleared BGV at an MNC could clarify how their portal calculates this, it would be a huge help. Thanks!

I badly need a job rn , I just got graduated with a bachelor's degree of specialisation in AIML on April and attended 3-4 month internship with stipend and currently I am jobless trying all ways to get a job through LinkedIn,naukri , official website etc. I'm also into freelancing like remote jobs that make us train AI...

I’m a 2026 BE Computer Engineering graduate looking for fresher opportunities, mainly Java / Spring Boot roles.

I often hear about off-campus or pooled hiring drives happening at different colleges, training institutes, or company offices in Mumbai, but I usually find out about them only after they’re over.

For people who are actively job hunting in Mumbai:

• Where do you get updates about upcoming walk-in / pooled / off-campus hiring drives?
• Are there any WhatsApp/Telegram groups, LinkedIn pages, websites, or communities that regularly post these?
• Do companies or colleges have any common place where these drives are announced?

I’m specifically looking for drives that freshers can physically attend, rather than just online applications.

Would really appreciate it if anyone could share reliable sources or groups. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m a 2025 B.Tech CSE graduate from Kurnool, and I’m currently in Hyderabad for upskilling and career preparation.

I want to be completely honest about my background.

I graduated with a 5.9 CGPA and had a few backlogs during my B.Tech. All my backlogs are cleared now.

The reason behind my low academic performance was a combination of health issues and the fact that I didn’t take my career seriously enough during college. Last year, I went through a health problem that kept me on bed rest for around 5 months, which affected my studies and overall progress.

I’m not saying this as an excuse. I take responsibility for where I am today.

But I also believe that my B.Tech performance shouldn't decide the rest of my career.

Right now, I’m in Hyderabad, focusing on improving my technical skills and becoming job-ready.

I understand that with a 5.9 CGPA, I may not be eligible for some MNC opportunities because of academic cutoffs. I’ve accepted that and I’m looking beyond just MNCs.

I’m looking for guidance regarding:

• Startups and smaller companies
• Internships and entry-level opportunities
• Junior developer / IT roles
• Companies that evaluate skills rather than only CGPA
• What skills I should focus on to build a strong career
• How to get that first real opportunity

I’m not looking for someone to give me a job just because of my situation.

I’m looking for an opportunity where I can learn, work hard and prove myself through my skills and performance.

If you’re a developer, founder, recruiter, working professional, or someone who went through a similar situation, I’d genuinely appreciate any advice.

If you know about any genuine fresher/internship opportunities in Hyderabad, I’d also be grateful if you could share them.

I know my past isn’t perfect. But I’m serious about making the next few years count.

Any advice, guidance, referrals or even a direction to focus on would mean a lot.

Thank you for reading. 🙏
