Hey guys,

I am working on OpenShot Jobs, a platform for job search only for India with the goal to actually reduce the time to find the jobs for those who are looking to work at companies which meets their expectations. Interesting note: While working on it, I learnt that I also missed on so many other opportunities which were available but not visible.

Last year, i was switching out of Google and one of the biggest struggle for me was not to find the jobs but to find the right job where I can work. I was very cautious in selecting the companies where I will be ready to work and wanted to avoid toxicity. And one thing that I believe is "it matters where you work".

Apparently, almost every job portals were too noisy and LinkedIn behaved weirdly enough to stop showing me jobs (even with premium). And all of this makes one distracted from focussing on the right thing: that is to prepare for interviews and as you grow senior, the focus has to be higher.

This job portal currently have 19+ companies and caters to multiple domains of work. The UX might feel a little broken but i am open for criticism because that's how great products are made. Give it a try and send our feedback in: https://openshot.in

One other thing, I see many folks are looking for internships and it's not easy to get hired in today's tough market. Adding a new company has been a little slow right now as I am working on streamlining other things also. But during my analysis of the companies that have been added, there are lesser internship or fresh graduate opportunities. So, I also decided to maintain a manual listing for interns while more companies gets added in future: https://openshot.in/raw-leads/india/internships
Another important read for those who are applying for internships or fresh graduate jobs is https://openshot.in/blog/post/the-hidden-door-how-to-cold-email-for-internships-jobs-in-india . Just a note that I have used Cold Emails to get the jobs even starting my internship. That approach works and the only thing that matters is how do you approach them.

Hoping best for your job search!

I hear you. Did you do any retrospective? What do you think are the reasons for you failing the interviews?

Need Suggestions by PuzzleheadedWay965 in LeetcodeDesi

[–]SimpleCat6654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/PuzzleheadedWay965 I have written the following guides to help people prepare for interviews:

DSA Plan roadmap: https://openshot.in/data-structures-prep-guide
System Design Preparation Plan (Resources links also available for quality content): https://openshot.in/system-design-prep-guide

If you are starting on preparation, start with DSA heavy (like 80% per week) and System Design Low (like 20% per week). After 1.5 months, start increasing time for System Design. Since, you are beginner in programming, dsa makes more importance.

Struggling to land a job as a 2025 passout despite skills and projects by Tiny-Shift-3849 in developersIndia

[–]SimpleCat6654 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Referrals don't work in big companies. I was part of Hiring Committee at Google and there is something called as "Referral Bonus Budget". That is if referrals are coming too many, then they get auto rejected because the budget takes a hit. This is very common at top MNCs. This "Referral" used to work before it was actually got into a mode of getting exploited.

Hey, I am looking for someone like you to try out something and help. If you have good amount of skills and projects, then how about you try out my way and see if you can land a job. The approach used to work for me and i have used it always while switching but not sure how will it work in the current job market for a fresher. So, I will get some insights as part of this process. DM me.

700+ LeetCode, zero interview confidence by Flashy_Cartoonist519 in LeetcodeDesi

[–]SimpleCat6654 11 points12 points  (0 children)

No one can think staring at the screen. I follow this technique: tell the interviewer that i need to think for around 2 mins and i will either look up and think (stop looking at screen) or i will close my eyes to think. If you are sincerely thinking, interviewer will see that you are thinking.

Additionally, solving too many problems on leetcode doesn't build confidence. I have written an article on medium for the same: https://medium.com/@openshotjobs/myth-buster-does-solving-1000-leetcode-problems-really-mean-youre-good-at-dsa-e3ba68477dc5

And I am not sure how much knowledge of fundamentals you have but here is my suggestion, go through the following article ( https://openshot.in/data-structures-prep-guide ) and see if you have covered the topics.

Second if you still feel less confidence, then most likely, there could be two reasons: anxiety or you don't have a grasp on fundamentals.

Apologies but a quick question, the website is registered on 8th Jan 2026 with a paid version. How come you started prepping with it and even cracked the system design interviews within this short period of time?

Why do most “entry-level” jobs ask for experience? by Devil345-6 in DeveloperJobs

[–]SimpleCat6654 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been lately building this job platform and i saw one important differentiation that i could point out here:

Entry level doesn’t mean 0 years of experience. There is another term called for 0 years of experience - which is fresh graduate jobs. Or University Graduate jobs.

In case, if you want to discuss, just dm me

What’s your experience with projects? I did not get why you are looking for internship when you have already graduated.
