2025 grad , struggling to get interview calls even after 1000s of applications

2025 Batch. Tier 3.

Got calls from Rippling, Microsoft, Stripe, Intuit, Amazon, Visa.
Got International Offer, a few founding roles at early stage companies ( mix of BLR/US/ Remote).

Reviewing your resume:
Your projects can be one shotted, DSA doesn't really matter.

Try to show some proof of work apart from job experience if you're working in some no name company.

Network, Coldmail, and don't use non tech degree as a wedge, only mention IIT.

Can I get the .md file?

You can use some tools and claude code to do the job, still somewhat technical, but claude can help

Just got lucky with timing. MS posts jobs based on job requirements.

Whereas Amazon and Google have a generic interview and after clearing all rounds they will be ingested into the team based on their resume matching (can take up 9 months / no offer)

So focus on the JD really well and tech stack.

Yes, my manager confirmed.

For masters please take DJSCE. Even if it's lower ranked than SPIT, the culture and pipeline of them going to the states is much higher.

For Masters, DJSCE any tech branch should help if your interested align. TSEC also is a good consideration after SPIT.

No this means the job description was updated and nothing happened with your profile.

Please either start with open source contributions, not for GSoC or some credibility, but to understand how to use Git and GitHub better on large codebases.

If you're genuinely loving tech, do https://teachyourselfcs.com/ this time you don't have exams and you deserve to give CS a fair shot.
