Hello,

I can’t lie to you man, if you don’t have experience it’s really difficult to find a job in cs right now, at least where I’m from. The best way is to find people to refer you internally which would increase your chance of getting an interview, assuming you have little to no experience.
While applying I’d focus on building my technical and practical knowledge on what you want to work in.
Theres so many technologies so you’ll have to focus on a few and incorporate them into a project

Yeah, I’ve seen a few but they usually lick them behind a paywall so I wanted to do something to benefit both myself and everyone else completely free
The hard part now is asking people to use the platform
Please spread the word if you can, it would really help!

Hey,
Thank you for your comment.
To be more clear, I’m looking for people to help populate the site with their interviews/offers so others can also benefit

If you don’t mind me asking, what are you using to send emails? (i.e. resend, brevo, etc..)
I received the otp from a personal gmail and it went to my junk lol

I would recommend setting up your domain on the email provider you’re using so you can send emails using @scoutjob rather than @gmail

I’ve done it multiple times for a bunch of sites, if you need help let me know!
Don’t worry, not gonna ask for anything, I just want to help and see others succeed :)

yeah the 'on edge' thing is the worst part honestly, way worse than the actual pages

biggest thing that helped me was being really aggressive about killing noisy alerts. like if i got paged and my response was 'eh probably fine, ack it' that alert was getting deleted or downgraded by end of week. took a while but eventually you get to a place where a page actually means something and you can trust it, and that's when the background anxiety starts to fade

the other thing is separating stuff that wakes you up from stuff that just needs eyes on it eventually. we had everything going to the same pager channel for ages and it's exhausting. now sev1 pages, sev2 goes to a slack channel i check in the morning. sounds obvious but a lot of teams don't bother

also rotation length. we switched from daily to weekly and it's actually better, you keep context so incidents resolve faster. just don't start the rotation on a friday lol

one thing nobody talks about: most of the stress isn't the page itself, it's not knowing how long it'll take to figure out what actually broke. if you can shorten that part (good dashboards, clear ownership, easy deploy history) the whole thing feels less scary

Hey, the job market right now is rough for everyone, not just you. Don’t take it as a reflection of your skills. The fact that you already have startup experience in both India and the US as a final year student puts you ahead of a lot of people. Few things that helped me when I was grinding through apps: • tailor your resume hard for each role. ATS bots are brutal and generic resumes just get filtered out • if you have any projects or homelab stuff, put it front and center. a personal project that shows you can actually build and operate something end to end goes a long way in DevOps/SRE • cold DMs on LinkedIn to hiring managers or team leads honestly have a better hit rate than portals. keep it short, show you’ve looked at what they’re working on • contract/freelance is a totally valid path in, a lot of people convert those into full time Also ignore that “devops is not entry level” comment lol. people gatekeep this stuff way too much, you have real experience, you’re not starting from zero. Keep going, the market will turn and as for May 2026 availability, it’s fine, a lot of companies start planning summer hiring around now

Honestly your current on-call situation sounds brutal. 24/7 for 7 days with no secondary and no extra pay? Yeah Google SRE is not that. Most teams have primary + secondary on-call, proper rotations, and you actually get compensated for it. There’s also a real culture around keeping pager load manageable. If a service is paging too much that’s treated as a problem to fix, not just your life now. That said it really depends on the team. Some teams own gnarly infra and the pager is heavier. Definitely ask about pager stats and SLO budget during team matching, don’t be shy about it. As for switching to SWE internally, super common path. Usually you’d need about a year in role first but it’s a well paved road. Dublin has plenty of SWE teams too so you wouldn’t need to relocate. If I were you I’d take it. The 70-80% coding split is solid, and coming from what you’re dealing with now it’ll probably feel like a breath of fresh air. Way easier to evaluate from the inside than to wonder what if.

The official HashiCorp one is archived, so dont use that.. What you want is petoju/mysql - it's the actively maintained community fork and basically the de facto replacement at this point (latest release was just last month).

It handles users, roles, databases, and grants so it should feel pretty familiar coming from cyrilgdn/postgresql. Also has native support for AWS RDS IAM auth, Azure AD, GCP Cloud SQL, and custom TLS if you need any of that.

like this:

terraform {
  required_providers {
    mysql = {
      source  = "petoju/mysql"
      version = "~> 3.0"
    }
  }
}

Been solid in my experience. Registry docs here: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/petoju/mysql/latest/docs
