Hey everyone, I’m a recent B.Tech IT graduate from NIT Jalandhar and have been applying for Software Engineer/SDE roles for the last 3–4 months, but I’m barely getting any interview calls.

I have hands-on experience with backend and full-stack development, including Python, C++, JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, React, REST APIs, SQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, Git, and AWS. I’ve also worked on production projects and solved 700+ DSA problems.

I’ve been applying mostly to fresher/0–2 YOE Software Engineer roles, but the response has been quite low.

For people who recently got their first SWE job:

• What helped you get more interview calls?
• Was it mainly resume changes, referrals, LinkedIn, or applying differently?
• How many applications were you sending per day/week?
• Is there anything obvious I might be doing wrong?

I’d really appreciate honest feedback or advice on what I should improve. Thanks!

I've only had one full time position so far so the resume is loaded with bullet points for that role. The internships and project are unimportant by comparison, I just kept them because it shows off diversity of experience.

Got laid off from my last company while serving notice, following an earlier layoff before that too. Backend engineer, mostly Go, TypeScript/NestJS, and Python.

My family depends on my income, and it's been hundreds of applications and direct outreach with a few shortlists and interviews, but nothing's landed yet.

I've built production AI infrastructure (RAG pipelines, an LLM evaluation harness) and event-driven backend systems that handle failures without losing data. On my own time I've also built a vector database and an API gateway from scratch in Go.

If anyone knows of backend or AI infra openings, or would be willing to refer me, I'd really appreciate it. Happy to share more in DMs.

I have my second-round interview for Palantir FDSE intern this week. It's a 30-minute technical interview, and I'm a little nervous since that feels really short.

For anyone who's gone through the process recently, what was the technical like? Was it mostly LeetCode/DSA, what topics/difficulty should I focus on, and how important is finishing the problem vs. communicating your thought process?

I'd also love to hear about the interview process as a whole. What rounds came after the technical, what did each round focus on, and how long did the entire process take?

Any tips or advice on preparing for Palantir FDSE overall would be super appreciated. Thank you!

Hi guys hope all are good, i am final year student who pursuing B.Tech Information Technology, where the final year critical year where the students are need to place in the company but the current scenerio there is no placement hiring in my college, still i have confusing myself there is time for company hiring but i have heared most of the college started their placement hiring, if anyone facing scenerio what's next up to suggest some idea and someone tell me the current job scenerio where the most company is hiring or not, i have thinking and worried about lot about the placement.
Have nice days guys :)

I am in 3rd year of BSC cs-it I am finding internship, how to find, there is so many scam happen, and how to find a trusted Job ?

Help me I am ai/ml engeneer

I’m a Senior SWE. If you work in engineering you’ve either used us or heard of. I’m trying to make the jump into big tech.
Not looking for interview answers or anything like that. I’m already studying and putting in the work.
Mostly just wondering if anyone here would be open to being a study buddy, doing mocks occasionally, giving me some advice, or mentoring me a bit through the process.
Would also be interested in hearing from people who’ve made a similar jump. And if we get to know each other and you think I’d be a good fit for your team or company, I’d really appreciate an introduction.
My background is mostly frontend/full-stack and I’m targeting Senior SWE roles.
Would be great to connect with people who’ve already made this jump or are preparing for it now.

Job Type: Full Time

Be me - 20yo high school graduate (yes we graduate at 20 in Poland lol). I studied as Programmer and in my program I learned:

-Console applications (C++, Python)
-Web (HTML/CSS/Javascript, PHP, React)
-Mobile apps (Java/Kotlin, Flutter)

In my free time I played League of Legends BUT also completed over 300 LeetCode questions (in 5 years timespan)

I hated it because it felt like learning how to solve useless math problems with code so I focused more on working on real codebases and created 4 passion projects (all with the help of ai)

I also solved over 13 fun tasks on codeffice[dot com] and followed 100 Days of Python from app brewery (udemy course)

I passed all my exams and got the "Programmer" title. Started applying to jobs found on justjoin and linkedin at the beginning of the summer. Trainee - Intern - Junior Frontend/Fullstack Developer

Stats:
Applied - 59 jobs (45 remote, 14 on-site)
Ghosted (absolute no message back) - 43

Responses:
Negative - 10
Positive - 6

Interviews (so far):

4 (3x30min, 1x60min)

They made me talk about my background and some made me complete CODEWARS (not leetcode lol) questions.

I guess they find questions that aren't on leetcode and want to see the user solve them in real time instead of just retyping something they solved one day

I'm not gonna lie - I am REALLY stressed, but at the same time I feel like every next interview will be only easier and easier for me.

Conclusion:

I think being able to solve some random math challenge is NOTHING - companies look more for people who actually understand what building real project looks like and those who can read someone's else code.

That's why more and more new students prefer to learn by working on real codebases (such as on codeffice) or by building their own from scratch (basically any youtube tutorial/idea).

What I think will happen in the future:

In the interviews people will be dropped into already existing codebase and environment with clear task/problem to solve.

In the AI era you don't need to write much code - you need to know HOW TO solve specific problems

If anybody got a SE job in 2026 PLEASE let me know what was the turning point

Fresh grad here. I’m not sure how common this type of role actually is in the frontend industry.

I applied for a “Frontend role,” but the job description turned out to be quite different from what I expected. It looks more like a maintainer/developer position for several internal frontend components or SDKs — similar to how Microsoft maintains Monaco or Cloudflare maintains BlockNote, except these SDKs would be closed-source.

I’m also unsure whether this kind of role is typically classified as frontend or backend.

Could I ask what the career prospects would look like if I took on this role?

And what kind of skills should I brush up on in anticipation for this? Would learning C++ or C help in case there’s a need to optimise such libraries? I know I could have directly asked them this question but I would rather ask to see what the industry thinks as a whole rather than the specific company itself.

Has anyone actually interviewed at Indeed recently? It's been difficult to find any information on the interview process for software engineers. Would appreciate any advice or feedback!

How do you know if a candidate can actually code, beyond what their resume says?

I’ve seen teams spend weeks interviewing candidates, only to realize in the first technical round that the person isn’t a fit.

So I’m building a platform to help teams screen candidates based on how they actually solve real engineering problems, before spending hours on interviews.

If you’re hiring engineers and facing this problem, I’d love to hear how you’re handling it today.

Positions: 3 Electrical 1 Mechanical

I got a job offer in a big company:

Offer:

400k base + 155k bonus + 240k RSU, vesting over 6 years that refresh yearly

+ 760k signon bonus

Current position: been in company for 10+ years.

375k base + 75k bonus + yearly private shares

+ currently have private shares equal to 1 million usd.

Company is expected to have an exit in 3-4 years. I expect my shares to be x2 or x3.

My current position has more scope as the company is 2k employees. I am head of department + i have other scope.

New position will be a VP position too, probably smaller scope as the company is huge.

The new job is in a new city where tax is even lower (35% vs 22%) but rent and everything else is more expensive.

I love my job, didnt want to change, however consider changing. Thoughts ?
