| " Worked in a few startups, also mainly on full-stack projects." How did you do at those startups ? Your best bet is approach them again and ask for a potential role. Without some connections, it is extremely difficult to get a full tiem job right now in tech especially as an entry level person. Some suggestions for you: 1. Get focussed on one stack. This is the unfortunate reality. You don't have enough real world experience to say "I can pick up any stack especially with AI". Thats what everyone else is saying. Too much noise. You need to separate yourself from the rest. Get really really good at one stack (pick whatever you are already experienced with and double down). Then create a project or two in it (as real world as possible). Put it on a personal website. Something that shows. Don't just do the usual low quality "bootcamp" stuff. Those won't fly. 2. Approach any existing network of people you have worked with/for. You mentioned working at startups already. Start there. 3. Approach smaller companies/other startups (after #1 above) on Linkedin and make a specific case to founders directly. This is not hard. If needed, get subscription to Sales Navigator (if you can afford) and search for companies in the less than 50 employee range. Find their CEO/CTO and hit them up directly with specific message on why YOU and why you want to work for THEM. No generic BS. Be specific. 4. Be very very flexible. Mention that you will relocate for the job. Forget about Working from Home. Find whatever you can and move for it if needed. Show that you mean serious business. These are some of the strategies that may help. It is very hard right now though. All the best. |
i did pretty well on every startup in some of them i was the only frontend dev build end to end features integrated apis enhance ux. i was never kicked out on any of them though in some projects got completed in some i already did 8 months work and still they don't increase my pay so i left i also build end to fullstack app of a client on upwork delivered working mvp in just one months but in the end due to serious health i couldn't continue
thing is that i don't really take connections seriously that time i was in college i focus on building more and more everything was new for me
yes i am trying for full-time as an entry level
1. well does building for startups, building for clients doesn't count in real world experience?? only building for company counts??
in my college i just keep doing internships and stuff and if got time i learned a bit and do some entertainment yes i did personal projects later and also building now. i never take any bootcamp
2. i did approach some not replied some say learn DSA some say master what you have done till now
3. i tried lots of yc companies i applied and talked and dming many founder most not replied some replied but they not hire remotely or from my country
4. if they pay me i am willing to relocated but i think all the skills i get now is not valued anymore in tech.
i know things changed a lot still i build everyday i am trying
again thanks for all the tips.
