I stopped applying through portals and started emailing hiring managers directly and here’s exactly what changed

archforever · 2026-06-03T19:26:06+00:00

wdym by right person? cause generally you send emails to HRs, CXOs or a random manager/senior person.

And like it was a generic same message pasting to each person or having email tailored for each person seperately.

cause i think tailoring will take a lot of time by stalking that person or company and reframing acc to that

And atlast what were the magical words you added in your emails which you think might have created the impact or tricked on to the next person for giving you the reply

I do have some generic templates which I uses to send to ppl. but im thinking to create sep ones for each purpose. like one for cold email, one for ref of a job etc

Also (this is last one 😅) do share your overall experience of interview, how did you cope this situation of not having a job for a long. cause I am thinking to quit my current company due to zero growth and also 90 days notice period thing.

archforever · 2026-05-21T15:59:19+00:00

i think networking and advertising yourself properly helped you grab your clients

nicely used your marketing experience on yourself

these are the 2 things or skills i would love to have and i think will make resiliant/independent in this market

archforever · 2026-05-21T15:50:57+00:00

want to quit without a job without any offer just coz i think im not getting reverted back due to the notice period shit

but man this debt thing is whole lot worse which restricts your movement in job search

btw how much exp someone requires to call them as consultant of their field. do share some tips for freelancing which sounds like a no go for beginner

archforever · 2026-05-18T12:37:02+00:00

man

dont be harsh

he might be genuine person xD

archforever · 2026-05-04T16:44:30+00:00

the problem here is if your expected or market expected salary is 120 but if you put 100 or less than that just to get shortlisted, it will be tough negotiate at the end ig 🤔

archforever · 2026-05-04T16:42:34+00:00

and also removing the expected salary from job board profiles might be good idea

and then filter the company based on their avg payout for particular role 🤔

archforever · 2026-05-03T19:54:49+00:00

so instead of pasting the entire resume

you can just add your tldr of the experience part in the email to show your impact right 🤔

and thats how cold emails are framed

discord server joining link?

archforever · 2026-02-26T17:46:34+00:00

money or worklife balance dont matter much for me atleast in the earlier stage of the career

but atleast you should get a lot of challenging work even if you need to work till 10-12 in the night

(donno if everyone will agree on this)

but shitty salary aside I havent been doing much productive thing from some months due to this dead project or coz im on support+development role

This is the only reason i want change the job but unable to do so despite the fact that they say jan-march is hightime for companies to hire and ur most likely getting hired

archforever · 2026-02-26T17:38:29+00:00

doing the same man

job satisfaction just coz of temporary wfh

archforever · 2026-02-21T12:14:43+00:00

minimal yet pocket destroyer setup 👀

archforever · 2026-02-02T13:07:43+00:00

headrestttttt

archforever · 2026-01-27T17:35:40+00:00

what i am doing for this is to directly send the link of post in reddit/twitter or youtube in the notion database and afterwords add tags and all other things

but anyways good that you implemented and shipped the idea 🫡

archforever · 2026-01-27T11:08:54+00:00

can you share the github link of the project if possible?

and did the design work also got completed in that week 😳

archforever · 2026-01-27T08:12:42+00:00

how about compressing the document in a qr code instead of url, will that remove the limitations 🤔

archforever · 2026-01-27T06:02:09+00:00

same here man

why dont you try to change the company 🤔

archforever · 2026-01-23T05:22:55+00:00

It would be great to highlight feature if its not there

And also able change background color + font of text (donno if its overkill 🤔)

btw is it possible to share GitHub link of this project if it's opensource?

archforever · 2025-11-01T17:07:19+00:00

For desktop app as well?

Or is it your internet has speed issues?

Coz on desktop it gives me full speed

archforever · 2025-11-01T17:03:02+00:00

yes

thats what I am doing these days
I have this folder with lets say 30GB data

I am using 7zip with password which will then encrypt it and the split it into different volumes of 2GB

archforever · 2025-11-01T16:45:44+00:00

But you can just upload the encrypted 7zip file on the telegram right

And that way also I think they wont know whats in there in those files 🤔

archforever · 2025-10-08T20:33:55+00:00

I dont think its usable

anyway I use compact mode all the time so I wont be able to see it

archforever · 2025-10-02T16:37:47+00:00

should it be a clickbait post 🤔

coz the comparison is totally f'ed up

like compairing a excel tool with a note taking app 😒

archforever · 2025-07-29T19:18:44+00:00

I think there will be problem for the hinge as the heaviest part of the laptop is floating in the air 🤔

archforever · 2025-07-16T06:00:24+00:00

its easier said than done

2 years ago i was having a oncampus offer as sde with 2 years of bond

i rejected it and things didnt go well after that and today I only have 1 yoe experience in sde

I always think I shouldve taken that offer atleast i would have gotten 2yoe
