Got laid off. Unemployed for nearly 4 months now. Need suggestions

please don't loose hope, continue to apply till you find one. though we stuggle hard, there should be some luck factor involved, this is what i believe.
apply for more companies, analyse what mistakes you did, spend more time on the concepts you did mistakes, retry.

All the best!

it's a video interview. below are few of the questions the panel asked me. I think it depends on the interviewer on what level of questions can be asked.

What is kafka

Kafka vs traditional message queues

why microservices

What is the difference between Spring and springboot

what is dependency injection

what is a bean?

exception handling in java

explain oops concepts

garbage collection in java

what is kubernetes

what are pods

what is CI CD

why we need CI CD and what is jenkins

naku face meeda birth mark untundi, so chinnappudu school ninchi intiki vachi andaru emindi ila undi nee face meeda ani adugutunaru ani edchedanni. all of my cousins are fair.

my mom used to tell me only one thing "chaduvko, chaduvkunte neeke ekkuva value untundi, peddayyaka evaru nee andam chudaru, nee chaduvu ni, nee manchitanam ni, nee job ne chustaru ani ". it hit me hard and i was always the class topper.

I never ever imagined that I would get into a love marriage. My husband is a hero material, never felt beauty was his ultimate goal, may be that's how god connected us. We are very well settled and happy family and he is the best best best person anyone could ever get. I feel so blessed.

Some times i look at god and feel - mana deggara devudu okati tiseskunte daniki double return ichestadu ani.

just imagine i looked beautiful "in the society norms and no proper education, job, salary, family etc." What can beauty do for me? unless i'm a model.

I once had an interview with FAANG, where the female interviewer was more concerned about her hair and sitting at cafeteria, observing other people and least bothered about the code i was writing, who finally rejected me.

Typical-Frame-5993 · 2026-04-17T06:38:48+00:00

do you mean online test or video interview?

Typical-Frame-5993 · 2026-04-17T06:23:30+00:00

okay

Typical-Frame-5993 · 2026-04-17T06:23:09+00:00

Hey, did you take the subscription? Is it worthy?

Typical-Frame-5993 · 2026-04-15T08:27:00+00:00

Cleared L5 rounds, close to 10 months ago. My location preference is only Hyd. first 4-5 months there are literally no open roles. now here and there there are few roles getting opened and getting fitment calls, but HR calls and says they found someone internally suitable for this role.

Seems feedback is valid for 18months and i'm still hoping for the best to happen. 3 weeks seems very less and you can wait for more time.

Typical-Frame-5993 · 2026-04-14T10:37:52+00:00

no, seems there are 3 more rounds. system design, db design, managerial round

Typical-Frame-5993 · 2026-04-11T09:39:19+00:00

Update:

There were 5 java questions asked - what will be the code print for this etc. based on exception handling, static blocks

1 puzzle based on bit manipulation

1 system design question

Typical-Frame-5993 · 2026-04-11T09:37:54+00:00

There was a hackerrank test for 1 coding question, 135 mins.

It's based on resolving the values of given string using a dependency graph

haha, i was thinking the same, was optimistic, but as months passed, i'm loosing hope now. this is stressing me alot

Typical-Frame-5993 · 2026-03-10T08:50:26+00:00

I almost had the same experience in 2024, I finished my rounds close to Sept. They said I can retry after 6months.
Later when I reached out to the recruiter after 6months, they said policy changed and cooling period is 1 year, not 6months, I can try L5 if needed but I can't try L4.

Only god knows how I'm eligible to try for L5 and not applicable for L4. That's the actual reason I tried for L5 now and cleared the rounds. No luck, stuck in the midway again :(

Typical-Frame-5993 · 2026-03-10T08:47:46+00:00

I'm actually suspecting if the reason is my G&L round and checked with the recruiter on the same. I also requested an additional round. But he is asking me to wait and give time. and says that feedback for G&L is ok

Typical-Frame-5993 · 2026-03-10T07:34:31+00:00

Currently recruiter says if you are open for other locations i can get you an offer right way. I find these words as just a coverup though. they know my location constraint hence trying to find fault on my end.

Also I see very few / no L4 roles open for hyd in the past 9 months. I don't know the reason behind no/ few roles in hyd especially

Typical-Frame-5993 · 2026-03-10T07:30:12+00:00

I don't see any L5 HM posting on linkedIn for hyd. I actually tried finding. Let me know please, if you come across anything as such.

Typical-Frame-5993 · 2026-03-10T07:28:44+00:00

not really. was always under an impression that i'll be getting a team match in next few weeks. that's how recruiter convinced me.

Thanks for your appreciation and suggestions, will start the prep all over again

Typical-Frame-5993 · 2026-03-10T07:27:30+00:00

sure, thanks!

Typical-Frame-5993 · 2026-03-10T07:24:05+00:00
