    It’s hopeless in this shitty recession. I’ve been applying since 2019, and still no progress. Applied on wellfound, indeed, internshala.

    College is a fucking waste of time. And no amount of open source contribution matters, it’s all bullshit.

    I wasted my time contributing and creating issues for GitLab and Nixpkgs. At most, I had an opportunity for MLH, fucking lost it.

    All I have is a bunch of stupid t-shirts, keychains and stickers from GitLab. As if that can feed me.

        The market is never good in India, when you have a million CS grads trying to compete for a few thousand open positions. And it just went downhill after 2021/2022. And yes, I am very picky about not going the service-based route, but that’s because I’d rather be a hippie wagie than a IT sweatshop wagie.

        I have also optimized my CV for ATS. I’ve custom-made my own template, which is very similar to Jake’s resume.

      Having similar issues. Probably applied for 500 jobs in the last 3 months. 2 interviews. I have 20 years experience and have built my own MVC PHP framework.
      I’m literally overqualified for most of these jobs. I did find that rebuilding my resume to be more modern (ai friendly) really increased my resume views etc. but still nothing
