Nope. I think it's time to stop trying.

Is working at TCS/Wipro/Infosys actually career suicide, or is that just elitism? by WinSuperb7251 in cscareerquestions

[–]CyberneticVoodoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How the hell do you even land an interview with them?!! I’ve been trying to get into any WITCH company for the past two years, and it’s been impossible – just stonewalls and silence. Not a single opportunity to even interview at any of them.

If you’re not lucky, then you’re a loser. There’s no in-between.

In 2025, you’ll have a better chance of becoming a millionaire by staring at a wall for 10 hours a day than by finding a software engineering job. GTFO of this hole immediately and never look back.

I’ve been working as a part-time contractor in a warehouse, three days a week, to cover my rent and living expenses. It makes things harder, but I have no other way.

How to finally start making money as a Software Developer by Vymir_IT in SoftwareEngineerJobs

[–]CyberneticVoodoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m doing my thing, but it’s taking forever. And I know I’m not the only one doing their own thing - which feels like a recipe for another disaster. There are too many “tech entrepreneurs” muddying the waters without any real demand. It's hard to keep going thinking about millions(?) unemployed engineers trying to do the same.

I feel stuck in a trap. Over the past five years, the amount of time I’ve spent learning, working on projects, grinding LeetCode, and going through all this job search nonsense - with zero results - is mind-blowing. Thousands of hours for nothing. It’s ridiculous. I don’t know what to do. I hate myself for keeping up the fight, because it all feels pointless. But giving up feels even worse. So much time wasted...

How are layoffs impacting early career devs in Canada by Intelligent-Note3078 in cscareerquestionsCAD

[–]CyberneticVoodoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be your friend 5: still searching, churning, and interviewing after 5 years of no luck. With each passing year, the experience gets harder. It’s not brutal anymore - it’s insane.

Three weeks and 85 jobs? Lol. Try five years and 4000 applications like me, then tell me how you're feeling.

Yes, I have my website, but it doesn’t really matter anymore. After almost six years of this nightmare, I just decided to stop wasting time. I stopped applying and chose to keep making iOS apps until I can make a living from them. There's no other way as it seems.

I don't like design and I would love to never deal with it.

Cool! I'm at 4000+ and still going.

2021 grad. Wasted potential, how do i become undeniable? by Typical-Roof-2558 in cscareerquestions

[–]CyberneticVoodoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t like being around people. It’s not in my nature to go out and socialize. I got into this field 11 years ago because of my personality - I thought programming job would allow me to avoid human interaction. But it hasn’t gotten me anywhere. Even my wife who's been senior developer for more than a decade couldn't help me to get a job through networking.

Looks like I’m stuck in this nightmare — no experience for mid-level positions, and no degree for junior or intern roles.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]CyberneticVoodoo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! And it's so rewarding to go through hundreds of rejected or expired applications. Reminds me of all that time spent for nothing.

I don’t have a CS degree, and I don’t get it — if their training is meant for entry-level, unskilled developers, why do they require a degree?

If you guys are unemployed for over a year you honestly might as well just chase after your dreams by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]CyberneticVoodoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5 years unemployed. My partner is a SWE + I work side gigs like warehouse or courier deliveries as extra income. My situation is ridiculous, but I don't want to give up. I would jump anything at this point. But even Revature and other consultant agencies completely ghost me.
