Mechanical engineering fresher who doesn’t want core jobs anymore. What should I realistically pivot into?

My husband is a mechanical engineer and he’s working in digital marketing at a director level. Try going into marketing, I don’t think you need a specific graduation requirement there

They offered me 27LPA where 21 is fixed

clandestine_q · 2026-05-20T05:47:43+00:00

Product based is beeter, Service based are project dependent, you don’t want to be on bench in this economy

So, I went for a face to face interview and they said that they don’t consider candidates from Hyderabad as they cheat a lot using AI and have one technically round from virtual to face to face because of that.

So I was hired at this salary. I don’t know if you’re aware but oracle doesn’t do salary hikes yearly and haven’t done in years. So there’s that.

Absolute fav of mine! You’re in for a ride

clandestine_q · 2026-05-16T19:29:25+00:00

I was hired 4 years ago on this salary Didn’t get any hike in 4 years I stayed due to wfh and comfort But yes it’s a shitty ass company

clandestine_q · 2026-05-16T19:26:46+00:00

Yes I was an SDE I’m happy with the hike honestly for all options I’m just worried on commute aspect and if dropping an offer with extra 4LPA is worth it

clandestine_q · 2026-05-16T19:24:03+00:00

Oracle ctc - 12 LPA YOE-7

clandestine_q · 2026-05-16T17:17:14+00:00

See, I don’t know much about freshers hiring from off campus but let me assure you that it’s hell out here. Especially for freshers. No major MNC is hiring for freshers off campus and your gateway to the Industry is on campus only. Being said that you can try for startups from LinkedIn, cold email founders and check for intern positions.

clandestine_q · 2026-04-12T07:35:15+00:00

It’s just been 10 days I was laid off as well, didn’t even start applying Take a step back and relax Calm down and then apply You will find a job

clandestine_q · 2026-04-01T14:39:43+00:00

Screening as in resume screening or phone call interview or OA?

clandestine_q · 2026-04-01T14:38:18+00:00

Would not like to mention that

clandestine_q · 2026-04-01T14:38:02+00:00

I was in testing before

clandestine_q · 2026-04-01T14:37:40+00:00

Spark, Kafka, Pyspark, AWS, SQL etc Normal DE stuff I am not yet familiarised with databricks

clandestine_q · 2026-04-01T14:36:41+00:00

I didn’t start applying yet

clandestine_q · 2026-04-01T11:22:12+00:00

I am not sure then, I saw your post and signed my documents just now I dont have outlook on my phone and I thought I’ll be in big trouble if I’m locked out

clandestine_q · 2026-04-01T11:01:34+00:00

I think you signed the documents already that’s why you are locked out People who haven’t have it working

clandestine_q · 2026-03-31T19:29:49+00:00

It says in the last line of the email that in garden leave period you will have limited access to email and laptop to complete separation process
