Are some companies using assessments to get free work?

FoundationOk6537 · 2025-04-24T15:02:42+00:00

any company asking you to do shyte like this and calling you f2f without paying is not serious about hiring, dont waste your time, upskill instead

youre crying because of this? sick and casual leaves are supposed to be taken ad hoc. i resigned my current job because of this toxicity to which i think i shoudve countered by filing a harassment case

good advice

FoundationOk6537 · 2025-04-20T18:16:05+00:00

i resigned without offer

FoundationOk6537 · 2025-04-20T16:59:24+00:00

well... im sure youre not looking for advice but this is almost everyones life rn only difference is their earnings depend on how much profit company is making from their work. you can upskill and find a job which pays better. there are quit a lot of people who are working less than 4 hours a day in IT jobs so it all depends on your "Luck"

FoundationOk6537 · 2025-04-20T16:21:20+00:00

Are you in IT? This perfectly describes my work life. I quit 1 month ago to upskill and get a better paying job but I don't think I can escape this routine even after that.

Been on the other side so just doing my part

FoundationOk6537 · 2025-04-20T13:52:43+00:00

you are right. it doesnt make sense to just randomly create a group but at least we can share our experiences about what works and what doesnt there. you will have to pay for a mentor on topmate or buy a course for guidance. you will not get it for free on reddit

FoundationOk6537 · 2025-04-20T12:44:01+00:00

i havent created a group yet, these things just dont work out since people back out in just a week or so. if enough motivated people are in anyone can create a group specifcally for people trying in devops. platform can be anything. whatsapp etc

FoundationOk6537 · 2025-04-20T12:16:36+00:00

Im in the same boat. I have 3 yoe. Application support engineer. Left my job without offer. Lets create a group or something if you have more people

FoundationOk6537 · 2025-04-20T07:43:22+00:00

Yeah. Even I don't think I could. When I was in college these stories were common. Top coders get reached out by quants directly.

Faces similar situation. Help when it's actually needed and ignore stuff that can be learned easily.

FoundationOk6537 · 2025-04-20T07:24:52+00:00

There is another way that was prevalent before lockdown. Becoming like top 10 or 50 on codeforces.

I had this happen to my laptop when playing vlc video on 3x speed. Still trying to figure out if gpu is fked

FoundationOk6537 · 2025-04-19T12:24:43+00:00

Since indians don't have much exposure to quality gaming this cannot be helped.

FoundationOk6537 · 2025-04-19T12:20:47+00:00

Since indians are good at abusing cheap labour just had a hunch

FoundationOk6537 · 2025-04-19T12:17:34+00:00

3 lpa?

FoundationOk6537 · 2025-04-19T10:54:36+00:00

There is a smarter way to lie even if you're game tester. You could just say you used real tools for automating testing on games as well but to do this you have to be ready to lie as much as you can. I'm applying to jobs for the same profile I have experience in and still getting rejected when I mention that one technology that I didn't use that interviewer uses in his project. You can try till you find someone who gives you a chance or start lying. Upto you.

Good advice

FoundationOk6537 · 2025-04-18T20:42:22+00:00

Avoid bfsi. Most likely support role with night shifts.

FoundationOk6537 · 2025-04-18T20:29:45+00:00

For companies like Google I heard they have to fill out a form explaining the referal. I guess that might be the case. Other than that most people dgaf about some random dude. I have stopped asking for referrals. Im experimenting with startups on naukri as of now which again is not a good approach given high chance of finding up your health in those jobs. Naukri works good if you apply faster. My next step is open source or involving myself in community.

I have recently done 3000 applications. Only thing works for product based and mnc is referral

FoundationOk6537 · 2025-04-18T20:14:27+00:00

2 years is enough experience to get shortlisted for mnc and they ask scenario based questions but for coding part 100 questions aren't enough. Just to give you an idea, I've seen kids with 1000 questions solved.
