@omkarships Most hiring for freshers happens through campus placements and few freshers are able to land jobs through network ( Off campus )
So ig there are enough freshers and next levels are safe
But honestly the market it brutal, no second thoughts!
The problem is every other company is looking for experienced dev ( just in numbers )
No matter how talented you are if total YOE doesn't fit under their system you can land a job.
But people with similar struggles try to reach out to exciting startups, they value talent !
8+ months of looking for a software engineer role as a fresher. Cold outreach. Career portal applications. Referrals.
Still nothing.
Genuinely asking people who've been through this. Not looking for the "market's tough" answer, what can I actually do differently at this point?
I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.
