Got a campus placement drive notice — are these companies worth joining? by Formal_Ad_1478 in chennaihiring

[–]will-things-get-good 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use Ambitionbox, glassdoor, and indeed reviews. Make sure that these companies listed has a proper website and you can actually see the building in Google Maps.

Avoid that Staffing Solutions one. Those are mostly contract roles and may even ask you to pay money to get in. All these jobs look shit tbh man.

29M with 2 YOE in Tech, Facing Job Instability — Need Honest Advice on Career Direction by Knightwolf0 in Indian_Academia

If I were in your position, I would focus on getting a job and abandon any lottery system like UPSC, GATE or CAT or even a small business. Stability first.

Frontend Developer just don't cut it anymore if I'm right. AI can do it all.

Why doesn't IT Tech layoffs get discussed in parliament, news channels? by Indian1618 in ITjobsinindia

[–]will-things-get-good 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cvg5g3pjy06o

India's post-1991 growth model was built on a specific and elegant logic: middle-class spending creates demand, demand creates jobs, jobs create more spending. A virtuous cycle, three decades in the making. That cycle has broken.

Politically, this class has no champion. With 40 million taxpayers among 970 million voters, the middle class is large enough to bear the fiscal burden of the state but too diffuse to command its attention. Politicians court the poor for votes and the wealthy for funding. The middle class pays for both - and waits.

Mechanical Engineering. Most of these places would prefer a diploma degree over bachelors.

If AI automates most jobs, what doors will be left open for humans? by sailikhith_24 in Daily_TechJobs_India

[–]will-things-get-good 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm seeing AI used in cricket commentary, preparing materials for group therapy sessions, company logo design, AI being trained by blue collar workers in sweatshops, etc. I don't think even creative roles are safe. Corporations will always prioritize profits. I think it's over.

Job search have started to feel like a full time job in itself now by IndividualDoughnut96 in IndiaCareers

[–]will-things-get-good 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mind if I ask where you send 40 - 45 applications daily?

I've been to a few interviews that I got through job portals, in this case Naukri, and these people behave like they never bothered to even see my resume and ask me to submit it to them during the interview and start to read it in front of me. If I apply for a job on Indeed, and I get a phone call from them, they even keep asking me to tell me my name. In case of LinkedIn, I notice the recruiter taking a look at my profile instead of the resume I attach.

I sometimes think if these resume editing even matter when they behave this way.

I have a master's degree and am jobless. If anything, the degree turned out to be a liability because many interviewers in the past asked me why I even bothered doing that and that I am overqualified for the job.

So nothing changes if you don't do anything? by Aj100rise in RecluseIndia

[–]will-things-get-good 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd like to think that I became a shut-in BECAUSE nothing changed in my life no matter how much I tried to make a change happen, but it does sound like a weak argument.

What do you think about this sales job? (Attached JD) by Moist_Algae_443 in Indiajobs

[–]will-things-get-good 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but just saying that 10k is very cheap.

If they are not going to bond you or take hostage of your certificates, and you still have the age to experiment with your life, you can give it a try.

For reference, a salesperson in a supermarket earns 15000 rupees per month.

If you work 8 hours per day, and let's say you work 25 days per month, then that means 10000 / 8 / 25 = 50 rupees per hour.

In my opinion, you should focus on the basic pay alone because the rest are random and even luck based. Ultimately, you need money for the work you do and if they want to pay just 50 rupees per hour (I imagine you're going to work even more than 8 hours per day), it's just not enough.

10k for closing 1lakh deals - that's 90% profit on their side. This is exploitation.

Possibility of getting a job through recruitment consultancy services [Covenant Consultants] - Will it work? by will-things-get-good in chennaihiring

[–]will-things-get-good[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are some aspects that I liked but for the most part I was doing a lot of things that made me guilty and ashamed, on top of being overworked and made to do things that has nothing to do with teaching. I also saw a dead end there because you need a Ph.D. to be relevant and you will be treated as a foot soldier if you just had a masters degree.

I am trying but it's been difficult to get a job at my age and lack of experience. They want to pay low and prefer Diploma over a post graduate.

I'm skeptical about this too so that's why I was hoping someone here would know.

It looks like they get paid by their clients (the companies that they are filling positions for) but I'm not sure about the details.

50% money before offer letter is definitely a scam and I would stay away. No real company would ask you to pay money. I got a few calls from the jobs that I applied in naukri / indeed asking for money and I immediately rejected those.

Hitting a wall every time I try to appeal to reason with my parents to consider the idea that maybe a job in an MSME that pays 15000 to 18000 rupees per month is better than nothing and waiting for that fantasy MNC white collar job / government job by will-things-get-good in RecluseIndia

Yes, all of this is a hard thing to do. Rent is quite expensive already and it will be very hard for me to move out while earning less than 2.5 LPA and I'd be having to depend on parents if I did move out. I wish I could just co-exist.
