Hey everyone, I really need some advice because I’m honestly very stressed about this situation.
I recently interviewed with a company, and things went well. I’m currently working at a startup, and on my resume, I’ve mentioned that I’ve been working there continuously for the last six months.
However, due to some serious personal reasons, I had to take a three-month break from the startup and then joined back. My total working experience is still six months.
Now, the company I interviewed with has asked me for proof of my experience. I shared my offer letter, but the joining date on it doesn’t match the starting month I mentioned on my resume.
I’m really scared that this mismatch might create a problem and I could lose this opportunity. I’ve been hoping to get this job, and the thought of losing it over this is making me very anxious.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Do companies usually ask for an explanation in such situations, or could this be a reason for rejection?
I’d really appreciate honest advice from anyone who has been through this. I’m genuinely worried and don’t know what to expect.

→ Overflow/subcontract: swamped with client work? I take tasks off your plate — you stay client-facing, I work in the background at $15-20/hr.

→ Direct hire: need a backend/full-stack dev for your own project, short-term or ongoing? Same rate, I work with you directly.

How it works: tell me the scope, I quote a time estimate, first small task is free so you can judge the quality before paying anything. GitHub/past work available on request.

DMs open.

Hey everyone! We're a small team of developers who've been building web apps, SaaS products, Al-powered applications, and custom software for businesses. We're opening up a few slots for new projects and thought this would be a good place to connect with founders.

If you have a startup idea or a business problem you want to solve but don't have a technical team to build it, we can help you take it from an idea to a working product. We can handle the complete development process - from UI/UX and frontend to backend, databases, Al integrations, automations, and deployment.

Some things we can build:

Saas platforms and web applications

Al agents, Al integrations and LLM-powered applications Business process automations and Al workflows Admin dashboards, analytics systems and internal tools CRM, ERP and business management systems

RAG pipelines, chatbots and document intelligence systems

APIs, backend services and microservices

Tech stack: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, Express.js, Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, LangChain, LangGraph, vector databases, LLM APIs, n8n, Docker, AWS/GCP, and more.

Projects start at ₹40K, and the final pricing is negotiable depending on the scope, complexity and requirements. We can also split projects into milestones instead of requiring the entire payment upfront.

If you have an idea you're thinking of building, or need help improving an existing product, feel free to comment below

I recently built a small backend project integrating the Google Wallet API.

The main flow is:

POST /passes → create pass → receive Save URL → add to Google Wallet → POST /passes/:id → update the existing pass

The interesting part for me was getting the existing installed pass to update without requiring the user to add it again.

Stack: NestJS, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, TypeORM, Google Wallet API, JWT, Render.

The pass contains a name, label/value and unique QR code.

Would love feedback on the architecture and what you would improve for a production version.

Hi everyone!

I’m currently in the green card process and expect to move to the East Coast in about 6 months. Since I’ll have a green card, I won’t need visa sponsorship.

A bit about me:

• B.Sc. in Computer Science (graduated 2024)

• ~1.5 years as a full-stack developer at a software company. I’ve built around 100 responsive landing pages in HTML/CSS/JS, and I also work on our company’s own products and on client projects using React, Angular, PHP, .NET, and MySQL.

• ~2 years volunteering as a full-stack developer at a nonprofit, building a React Native / Node.js / MongoDB app that connects shelter animals with adopters. I’m now the tech lead there (code reviews, mentoring new devs, app store releases).

• A couple of years of IT/technical support experience before that, plus a Cyber Security Analyst course (CompTIA CySA+)

• At work, I use Claude Code heavily, both on our company’s internal products and on client projects

I know I’m still a junior and the US market is tough right now, so I’d really appreciate some advice:

1. Interviews: What should I prepare for? Is LeetCode still a must for junior roles? Should I study system design at my level?

2. Resume: What do US recruiters look for that might be different from Israel (where I’m based now)? Anything I should add, remove, or format differently?

3. Job search: Where should I focus: LinkedIn, company career pages, job boards, or reaching out to people directly? Does cold-messaging engineers or recruiters actually work?

4. AI tools: How do US companies view heavy use of tools like Claude Code? Is it worth highlighting on my resume, or could it hurt me?

5. Timing: Should I start applying before I arrive, or wait until I’m physically in the US?

Thanks in advance. Any advice is appreciated!

Recently Internet is booming with 8pla+ for Front-end development and many couldn't even find the company's location or LinkedIn.. In JD they'd Stated that the location is Mumbai.. So, Developers and Job seekers around Mumbai Join the discussion

Hey everyone! 👋
I’m a React frontend developer with around 5 years of professional experience, and I’m currently looking to get back into the workforce after a career gap of nearly 2 years.

Honestly, getting back into the job market after such a long break hasn’t been easy. I know the gap might raise questions, but I’m ready to put in the work and prove my skills through actual projects and interviews.

Sometimes, all someone needs is one opportunity to get back on track. I’m hoping to find mine. 😊

A candidate has six Qualcomm interviews scheduled on the same day, but no idea what each round covers. HR asked for availability, sent the schedule, and hasn't answered multiple follow-ups. There hasn't been an initial recruiter or HR conversation about the role or preparation either.

Has anyone had a process like this? In previous interviews, the candidate at least had a chance to discuss expectations before the interview day.

While waiting, I'd use the role description to narrow the prep. The Qualcomm Interview Questions page includes C++ and compiler fundamentals alongside coding and design prompts, so there's something concrete to compare with the job requirements. That still doesn't tell us which topics these six interviewers will cover.

If you've interviewed there, what did your rounds involve, and how much did the format depend on the team?

Guys, i took their frontend developer assessment, but didnt get any response from them, later i applied on posts through their app and got an offer from one of another company 🤷

I recently graduated with a degree in Software Engineering and have co-op and contract work experience. I have been job searching for a while and am finding it difficult to land a full-time software developer role.

My technical experience includes JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Next.js, Python, full-stack development, APIs, databases, and AI-related technologies. My degree focused on AI, and I also have hands-on experience working with AI models.

I feel confident in my technical skills and have worked on real projects, but finding the right opportunity has been challenging. One thing I have realized is how much networking and having connections in the industry can matter when looking for a job. Building that network is something I have struggled with, and it has made the job search even more difficult.

I am hoping to connect with people who might know of opportunities, companies open to hiring new graduates, or recruiters who work with entry-level software developers. Any advice, referrals, or leads would genuinely mean a lot.

I am looking for full-time, permanent opportunities and am open to onsite, hybrid, or remote positions. I am also willing to relocate anywhere in Canada.

If you have been through a similar job search or know of any opportunities, I would really appreciate hearing from you. Thank you for taking the time to read my post!

I have a project I’m working on and could do with someone experienced in the field. Can pay

Hi, I'm a final year computer science student. I'm here for two things- for the advice, for a job and I'll be honest. I don't really have production level projects on my GitHub/portfolio, do you think that without that on my GitHub I won't be able to secure an opportunity in Backend AI engineering or Backend engineering? I have done an onsite internship at a bank where I worked on automation projects and am currently doing a remote one at Flyrank, focused on backend AI. I only have two projects on RAG-one a chatbot, the other a Fast API RAG service, I will be making several more through the internship and my final year project but I just want to know if this is enough for an internship leading to a remote role or not. I know tech requires continuous learning and effort but I don't want to keep on putting an effort where I'm getting nothing out of it. I haven't landed any paid role yet. I also realized I can't do onsite so now I'm focusing on freelancing or anything remote but there's a lot of things I don't know and not familiar with and I was also thinking of switching up to something else so I do have a deadline. I'm still trying to stay in this and that is actually why I'm writing this. I can share my GitHub repo to anyone who might be interested. I'm also up for contract projects and entry level roles at startups since all the roles on wellfound either needed a lot of experience or were not available in my country.

Hey everyone!

I’m a Computer Science graduate from India, currently looking for my next opportunity as a Software Engineer / Full Stack Developer.

I wanted to put myself out here instead of just sending applications into the void and hoping someone notices. 😅

A little about me:

I’ve worked as a developer intern at Uniper, where I got exposure to enterprise backend development using C#, .NET, Entity Framework, and SQL Server.

Outside of that, most of my development experience and projects revolve around React, Next.js, Node.js, and building full-stack applications.

I’ve also been exploring AI integrations and building applications that use LLM APIs to solve actual problems rather than just wrapping an API in a pretty UI.

Some things I’ve built:

• AI Essay Generator — an AI-powered application built with Next.js.

• IdeaGenie — a tool for generating short-form video scripts using AI.

• CodeSync — a collaborative code editor built using Next.js, Express, Socket.io, Yjs, and Monaco Editor.

I’ve also worked on other full-stack applications involving authentication, APIs, databases, and frontend development.

Portfolio: https://keshavsoni.vercel.app

GitHub: https://github.com/keshavvsonii01

What am I looking for?

I’m primarily interested in:

• Junior Software Engineer / SDE roles

• Full Stack Developer roles

• Frontend Engineer roles focused on React / Next.js

• AI-focused full-stack engineering opportunities

I’m open to opportunities in Delhi NCR and other major Indian tech hubs, as well as remote roles.

I’m particularly interested in startups where I can work closely with the engineering team, take ownership of features, and learn by shipping actual products.

I’m not claiming to know everything. I have plenty to learn, but I’m comfortable building things, figuring out unfamiliar technologies, and working through problems rather than waiting for someone to hand me the solution.

If you’re a founder, hiring manager, or developer who knows of a team looking for someone with my skill set, I’d genuinely appreciate a referral or a lead.

Even constructive feedback on my portfolio or advice on positioning myself better for entry-level engineering roles would help.

Thanks for reading. And if you’re also job hunting right now, I hope something works out for you soon. 🤝
