Freelance Digital Marketer Needed

A restaurant based in Thiruvananthapuram is looking for someone who can help shape and grow their digital presence. We’re looking for a freelance digital marketer who understands social media, branding, content direction, and generally knows how to make a restaurant stand out online.

This isn’t one of those super corporate, rigid gigs. We’re still figuring out the exact scope, timelines, budget, and all of that, so it would make more sense to discuss things based on experience, ideas, and what you think would actually help.

If you’ve worked with restaurants, local brands, or even if you just genuinely know how to build engagement and visibility online, feel free to reach out.

For context- I am freelancer and my team is handling their website, video, and branding requirements as part of a revamp.

Suggestions

So basically I am graduating this year in B.tech computer science under KTU. And I have no clue what to pursue next I was planning on switching to cyber security/ cloud feild. As those are the feilds I have some interests in and I studied basic computer science which doesn't teach any of those topics. So I was planning of taking a short term course from some institutions. So does anyone have any suggestions for the institutions which focuses on those fields or any other suggestions regarding moving to the particular field.

Ty 🙂

Returning to Kerala After Germany: What Salary Range Should I Realistically Expect?

I had a strong offer from Germany that I ultimately turned down because I had to move back to Kerala. Now I’m trying to understand the current job market here a bit better.

Based on my profile: ~1.5 years of full-time experience in dubai plus multiple internships across project management and business development in Germany what kind of salary range is realistically achievable in Kerala right now? I've attached my resume for reference.

Also, what job portals are people actually using here? LinkedIn feels pretty dry so far. The only callbacks I’ve gotten were through Shine.com from very small companies in Thrissur offering around 6 LPA for a 6-day work week, while expecting employees to use their own laptops.

Would really appreciate honest insights from people hiring or working in the Kerala market.

Losing

Guess I lost. The only small hope I had was a referral I got from a doing a project for the person who referred me. But after the second round of interviews, they said I couldn't get through. I believe I did my best. I prepared well for the interview. But still. I spent months upskilling by doing a project for the person who referred me. I delved deep into the topic because I am fresher and made sure to learn everything from scratch . But now I'm tired. Just resort to applying. I'm happy that I could learn a lot by doing the project, but I'm worn out. I'm planning to keep the rejection as a secret from my parents. I don't want them to be worried about me.

Stuck with an unfinished degree for 6 years

Title: Stuck in a 6-year "Integrated Degree" loop with 11 backlogs. At 24, I’m mentally drained and losing myself. Is it time to pivot?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some perspective because I feel like I’m suffocating under the weight of a degree that just won’t end.

I started an Integrated M.Sc. in Mathematics (minor in Data Science) back in 2020. I was supposed to be done a while ago, but I’ve struggled with the transition and ended up with 11 backlogs from my Bachelor's years. I’m currently 24, running on a course extension, and honestly? I feel like my life is on pause.

This isn't just about the academics anymore—it’s destroying me mentally. Every morning starts with the weight of those 7 papers hanging over my head. It’s a permanent "cloud" that follows me everywhere. I used to believe I was capable, but failing these papers repeatedly has made me doubt my own basic intelligence. I’ve started to feel "less than" my peers who have already started their careers. Watching everyone move ahead while I’m still stuck in the same loop makes me want to withdraw. It feels like I'm "the guy with backlogs" and nothing else.

I’ve been trying to clear these papers, but it’s a cycle of "one step forward, two steps back."I started coaching for Bank and SSC exams, but it feels pointless because I can't even sit for the final selections without a degree.I’ve done a few random gigs, but nothing that builds a career. I never even touched the Data Science side of my minor; the advanced math just drained my interest. I’m actually very passionate about Finance, Teaching, Business, and Movies. I know I have good logical thinking and teaching skills, but I can’t seem to apply them to anything official because I’m tethered to this unfinished degree. I’m planning to give this current exam cycle one last "do or die" effort. If I don't clear a significant chunk, I’m considering dropping the degree entirely.

  1. Is dropping out after 6 years a "sunk cost fallacy" trap, or is it a smart move to save my mental health?
  2. How hard is it to pivot into Finance or Business without a standard Math degree? Are there certifications (like NISM/NCFM) that actually carry weight?
  3. Should I start a fresh, easier degree via distance learning (like IGNOU) just to get that "Graduate" tag for competitive exams?

I feel like I’m falling behind, and my confidence is at an all-time low. Has anyone else walked away from a "stuck" situation and actually found success?

TL;DR: 24yo, 6 years into a Math B.Sc., 7 backlogs. It’s draining my sanity and confidence. Want to move into Finance/Teaching. Should I drop the degree after one last try?

Made a tool for finding job listings at IT parks in Kerala

just wrapped up a project called തൊഴിൽ .

It’s a job search tool specifically for Technopark and Infopark job listings which uses semantic search and AI embeddings from qwen models to find the appropriate jobs matching one's profile rather than traditional keyword like system...

still working on it, its been barely two days of works.. planning to add more job listing sites soon if this receives enough feedbacks on LinkedIn

What are some of the brutal truths u found out while job hunting

I mean I've kind of honestly tired of applying

Please I hope someone says what companies are actually hiring Karanam sad part is not even getting a job despite having certification or skills or a good resume (I've got mine checked a lot of time and has been tailoring it)

Maybe I'm a fresher ayond ayirkum I've noticed a lot of people who are reluctant to help or even offer a referral , like i understand it might be dificult but anal rather than giving us hope would be better if it's said to us ale

And the job market has been brutal I've been unemployed for long , online news articles or linkedin posts states every company like MNCs are hiring freshers but I'm unable to see any openings, and despite reaching out to these people for openings and considering our profile it turns out to be scam and then asking for huge money to get us job

Any other thoughts or findings u found out while job hunting

Help out a fellow unemployed

Hey guys,

​So I’ve been working as a Business Development Executive for almost 10 months and I finally quit recently. I realized the job was a total dead end—the only real "growth" available was just being assigned higher targets, and that is definitely not something I want to do in the long run.

​Since quitting, I’ve tried applying to almost all of the Big 4 firms, but I’m not getting any response at all. I’m not even getting the standard "regret" or "unfortunately" automated emails. It’s just straight-up silence.

​For context, I’m an MBA graduate in Finance and Marketing with a B.Com background.

​Does anyone actually know how to crack this? Am I doing something wrong with my applications, or is the market just that cooked right now? Any advice on how to actually get their attention would be appreciated.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Referral Guy 🕸️

Heyya All!!!

This is my second time posting this in here. Earlier I posted and I got so many DMs that Reddit suspended my account. So I wasn't able to help anyone out at that time. So kindly don't DM me on Reddit, rather ping me on LinkedIn.

Now coming to the main thing.

I’m currently employed at EPAM Systems and I’m happy to refer people who genuinely match open roles there. Think of me as your friendly neighborhood referral guy, just without the superhero budget 😄

A few clear points:

• I don’t want money. • I’m not HR. • I’m not a recruiter. • I’m just an employee who can submit referrals internally.

If you want a referral at EPAM, please do this properly:

  1. Go to the EPAM careers website.

  2. Search for roles that actually match your experience.

  3. Share the exact job link with me.

  4. Send your details in this format on LinkedIn only:

Name: Mobile: Email: Total Experience: Primary Skill: Secondary Skill: Current Location: Notice Period:

Very important again: Do NOT DM me on Reddit. My account already got suspended once because of too many DMs. I won’t respond here. Only Ping me on LinkedIn.

Also please don’t message saying “Any openings for testing?” or “Any vacancy for frontend?”

I genuinely don’t track all openings. It’s easier if you check the career page and send me the link for the exact role you want. At least do that small homework before asking for help.

If your profile matches the role, I’ll happily refer you. I usually process referrals on weekends.

Additionally, if anyone needs referrals for UST, TCS, or IBM, I can try to help through friends working there. Same rule applies:

Search the career page yourself. Share the job link. Send your details properly.

No random “Any vacancies?” messages please. I won’t know unless you share the link.

Let’s keep it simple and genuine. If you’re serious and your experience matches the role, I’m more than happy to help.
