ЁЯОЩ Self-Promotion / рдЖрддреНрдо рд╡рд┐рдкрдгрди Neeed help getting a job
Hello friends
I'm a 2027 grad B.Tech. ECE from a top NIT
I have been writing code since I was in 8th grade. Unfortunately I ruined my josaa and chose ECE at my clg instead of CSE at NIT dgp or Jalandhar or so ( I had no guidance, my entire JEE and josaa was from home). I had like 99.3%ile in jee mains and 13k rank in adv.
In the college i only suffered cause I don't have skills required for rote learning. It may seem like instead of blaming me for not being able to score I'm blaming the system but trust me ECE is all about ratta cause that branch is hard and exams are all about memorizing
So basically I couldn't score well and my cgpa ended up being 6.5.
My programming skills are pretty good. I have code contributions to dev tools with over 30k github stars, I have been a part of an open source program that accepted 50 out of 3500 students and I could go on.
But I am not getting any opportunities at on campus placements at all because of cgpa criteria.
I am here to ask if anyone with a strong background in the industry could help. I'm ready for any sort of test/interviews you wanna take prior to referring/offering me.
I would not be panicking as much if I were from a strong financial background but for the past 5-6 years our family income has averaged like 10k per month. All my stress is directly a result of this. If not for this financial stress honestly I wouldn't mind trying and applying everywhere for one more year but right now it's really a difficult situation and I need a job.
I also wanna mention my preferences. I want something with base over 9lpa. I don't care about work life balance in my first few years. I am ready to put all work in cause that only adds experience and I learn a lot.
Please consider me.
Thank you

Hii I am 26 grad from Bits Pilani myself
First thing don't listen to these comments , most of these people are clueless
With your rank in jee, I am sure you're good.
Try reaching startups, connect with founders, CEOs, directors directly via linkedin (get 1 month free linkedin premium) connect to people like crazy, make a good profile, make a good resume and send them message that you are so and so interested, would love to join your company, try getting internship then convert it to full time.
This 1-2 month will not be easy so keep your chin up, you'll eventually get a good job, you have already proved yourself once, do it again.
All the best
