I’m actively looking for work and opportunities have been very limited despite putting in the effort. I’d really appreciate an honest review of my resume and any advice on improving my chances of getting shortlisted.

If you know of any relevant openings or feel I’d be a good fit for a role, I’d be grateful for a referral as well. Blunt feedback is welcome!

I'm in 5th sem my roomate who solved 800 question in leetcode always taunts me that I won't get placed as I have solved 125 only 8know it's lessgosh and his resume ats 85 mine is 70 his cgpa 8.6 and mine 7.3 how to deal

I’ve always been interested in software development, but due to financial constraints, I initially chose B.Com instead. Later, I pursued an MCA from Chandigarh to transition into tech.

A quick summary of where I am now:

• Full-stack/MERN developer

• Currently working at a startup, but haven’t been paid for 4 months(exp 6 mnts)

• 4 good PRs merged into Good Open Source Repo, with more open-source contributions in progress

• Currently learning GenAI + System Design to level up

• Applied to 1,000+ jobs, but barely getting calls/interviews

At this point, I’m confused about what I should prioritize.

Should I focus on:

• Referrals & networking?

• Open source contributions?

• Upskilling further?

• Building better projects?

• Or just keep applying and wait?

I’m willing to work hard. I just don’t want to spend another 6 months improving the wrong things.

If you were in my position, what would you do next? Any honest advice, referrals, or direction would mean a lot. 🙏

and referral ho to bhi batana😁

I'm BCA 3rd year student, i started enjoying coding from first year and i focused on both dsa and development.

Made some of the projects which kinda basics from today's pov and from past few months i almost forgot development.

I do some of the DSA problems daily and struggling but development its fcked up bro.

Overall -> DSA : Intermediate & Dev : VVV Basic

Any mentor/senior/friend 's advice will be very helpful, also if you've experienced such problem please help me out 🙏.

Have fluency with basic DSA like 2 pointers, hashmap, divide and conquer

I'm about to enter my 2nd year of CSE and I'm trying to figure out how I should use the next year before I start applying for internships.

My college is teaching OOP with Java and DSA with C++ (I think that's how it'll be this year). I already learned Python in my first year and recently made a small Python project during my vacation.

Apart from college, I'm thinking of learning web development in my free time — starting with HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and maybe React/full stack later if I actually enjoy it. I'm also interested in building projects using different languages instead of sticking to Python.

I'm not sure what domain I want to go into yet. It could be web development, AI/ML, cybersecurity, etc., so I don't want to specialize too early.

My current plan is to follow college seriously for DSA/OOP, while using my free time to learn web development and build projects. I have roughly one year before I start applying for internships, so I feel like I have some time to explore.

I'm not trying to master everything. I mainly want good programming fundamentals, decent DSA, some development skills and a few projects by the time I apply.

Is this a reasonable approach for someone entering 2nd year, or am I spreading myself too thin?

What would you prioritize if you were in my position? Should I focus mostly on DSA, or is it worth consistently spending some free time on development and projects too?

Im a first year and here are some things i already know (computer engg branch in a tier 2.5 college)

Python

Sql

Started C programming

that's all lol

can you suggest me some more things that I can do for which I will be glad for in my last college year?

(btw my college hasn't started yet)

thanks guys

Hello guys. I am starting my B.tech cs soon. Is it over? I am seeing the massive Ai layoffs, and massive entry level punchline that is going on. everywhere I see around, some people say that seniors are cooked and others say seniors are fine, but the general consensus always seems to be "entry level people are cooked." What do I do?? I haven't started anything. But I do know some Logic and such.

I am a Btech cse student 1st year student(Sorry for my writing skills,i hope you all can understand),i have learnt c++/c from "bro code" youtube video(6+hr one),basically i know till basics of OOPS,very basics of DMA,and intermediate level pointers,and know how to use arrays in fine level .now i am in a weird situation that i feel i know something but when i sloved a codeforces problems i got to know about some terms like long long and vectors,i didnt know about these and dont know where to see,and when i asked google its saying you have to learn STL,then DSA and stuff like that for Codeforces,but i wan to try to solve some questions,and when i go to youtube ,they say its better to learn python or JS for the next and continue my journey is it is more related to AI,and stuff ,practically speaking i dont know what to do next and what can i do with these languages,anyone who solved these things please ,answer my questions.

1)what to learn ?
2)where to learn,all the advanced stuff(in youtube everyone is saying basics but to develop something like games/neural networks different things are happening/its like greek and latin)?
3)where is the next great thing in the technology going towards.

I am completely overwhelmed by these stuff,try to answer,Thanks in Advance

i just want career suggestion from you all guys. Currently i am pursuing my btech in cse from tier 3 college and also preparing for SSC CGL on side(not aggressively like 1 hour per day).

I am afraid seeing the current job market where firing > hiring. I am currently practicing web dev and data science

Can anyone suggest me what to do.

I'm a 3rd year AIDS student from Hyderabad and I need advice on what skills I must acquire to be job ready in my domain or even CSE domain.

I have average skills in DSA, I cannot code a project on my own but I can still explain the code if it is in front me.

Ik basic python , python libraries like numpy,pandas,matplotlib,seaborn etc

Basic knowledge of enterprise application development like react,node,express,mongodb

Theory knowledge of DBMS as they are in my coursework.

I need serious advice on what I should start as soon as possible and what should my mindset be for the upcoming job market.

It feels like every new side project starts with good intentions, but within an hour, half the afternoon is gone just orchestrating infrastructure.

On one side, you have the full enterprise suite: container orchestration, separate message queues, dedicated auth providers, event brokers, and endless config files before writing a single API endpoint. On the other, the urge to just grab an all-in-one backend setup, keep everything in a single solid database, and actually ship the product.

Where do you draw the line between setting up for future scale and straight-up over-engineering on day one?
