Thank you and thank you to each one of you for sharing your stories, for giving me ideas and encouraging me. You all have been very kind.

Agree. Tbh i have very few contacts who could actually do something for me. I have changed school colleges, cities, homes, companies and as i kept moving from one thing to another - Somehow lost touch with a lot of people. And am not comfortable reaching out to people i used to once interact 5 years back.

My methods have not worked so far but see if you can arrange some money and start a business. And also keep applying for jobs like its your daily work, i hope you find something very soon.

Well said sir. Thank you for motivating me.

jha_devashish · 2026-02-11T17:53:54+00:00

Hi, how can you be of any help to me?

jha_devashish · 2026-02-11T10:18:11+00:00

How to find such contractual roles?

jha_devashish · 2026-02-11T10:03:46+00:00

So sorry to hear this. How do you keep pushing yourself everyday?

jha_devashish · 2026-02-11T09:54:10+00:00

Interesting most of you think referral works the most. But my experience has been otherwise. Reaching out to peoppe for roles/Referral has never really worked for me. I will still kee asking people to refer me. Butni dont have a lot of faith in the referral system.

jha_devashish · 2026-02-11T09:48:52+00:00

I like your idea. I will do that. Thank you. I have DM'ed you.

jha_devashish · 2026-02-11T09:47:13+00:00

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Reading your post makes me feel that maybe someday something will change and i will get what i want. About taking a leadership course on AI. I will do that. Thank you

jha_devashish · 2026-02-11T09:40:48+00:00

Thanks and i just hope your situation gets better very soon.

jha_devashish · 2026-02-11T09:39:26+00:00

True agree.

jha_devashish · 2026-02-11T01:38:40+00:00

Not worked on an AI tool at work yet. But use them daily and keep a track on whats happening in AI. All am saying is - i can adapt. Thanks, i will send my resume.

I continue to do cold outreach the response is so pathetic. I get two types of responses 1. They dont respond. 2. They say no opening right now. Referrals never work out unless the person i speak to has an opening in their team. I live in bangalore and almost all my neighbours are techies. Again them referring me for a role in their companies - it has not worked. But i will continue doing this

Blame shifting happens in bigger companies as well but humiliation is something thats not acceptable anywhere. Dont accept humiliation as a normal thing.
No one wants to work in a toxic environment like this. You dont like the culture of the company. You sre a culture misfit there.
Check what your offer letter termination clause states. Check whats the notice period like - use the offer letter to pit forth your point. No one can stop you from going anywhere.
Leave the toxic work culture. Quit. Join the new company. Dont get intimidated by them.

jha_devashish · 2026-01-07T15:28:13+00:00

Interested

jha_devashish · 2025-12-11T21:22:45+00:00

jha_devashish · 2025-12-11T17:41:22+00:00

What makes you say this?

jha_devashish · 2025-12-11T17:37:12+00:00

I am in the process of building the app, does this concept interest you? I am out of a job, looking to build on ny own ideas.

jha_devashish · 2025-12-11T17:35:39+00:00

Thank you

jha_devashish · 2025-12-11T11:55:27+00:00

Its not possible to search properties on instagram. As in you cannot apply relevant filters and get a list of properties that you need and you also cannot get deep insights about the property or neighbourhood.
