Personal Win: I got LinkedIn premium for free during my final-year of graduation.

Personal Win: I got LinkedIn premium for free during my final-year of graduation.

Basically, I had no idea that LinkedIn offers 30 days trial. I logged in today and see the banner to activate it. So, it's my last year, I am about to graduate in a few days and luckily got this subscription.

I am seeking guidance to utilise this feature to full potential to find opportunities which are relevant as per my BTech CSE course.

Tell me all those hacks & tricks which benefitted you once you were a fresher on mercy of non-technical HRs.

My fours years of perseverance just comes to an end. (Off campus is 1000X hard to clear)

Being a fresher 2026, I got a chance to connect individually with over 10 people serving in IT domain for ages. ​​​

  1. Google guy - He told me, "I won't refer you until you get knight status on Leetcode".
  2. Amazon guy - He ghosted me.
  3. Amex global guy - He wanted to refer me but career page has openings only for senior roles.
  4. Apple guy - He recently joined apple. He wanted to refer me but neither him nor I could find ​anything which is meant for fresher, not even an internship or their early career program in India.
  5. Optum guy - I shall get an opportunity to be interviewed by​ him, only if my technical biodata surpasses initial stages​ of screening.
  6. HCL tech guy - I successfully got​ a job invitation.​ Guess what? AI developer II. (Directlyyy? and I am just a fresher rn, again low chances).
  7. Accenture guy - He provided me some really great guidance, told -"base location can be changed talking with HR so don't worry initially". Well, I was open for anywhere. So, no problem as such.
  8. Big 5 Consulting firm guy - He put me into general pool.
  9. HP guy - He told me that university hiring is done.
  10. High radius Technolgies guy - he promised me to refer. He might have talked with hiring manger)/HR. But I got to know from him the very next day, "We only hire experienced people, and freshers directly from college).

Also applied to NVIDIA N.e.X.T program previous month - Got referred by some senior person. ​Got invition for basic test. But couldn't clear it. It was f*king hard.

Right now - unemployed. No hopes from placement cell.

If anyone knows of any opportunity for recent grads/final-yearites do let me know.

Let's create a mega thread of Crowdsourced Job Referrals

Given the current market situation, getting opportunities could be a grim prospect, especially for freshers and recent grads. While referrals don't always work, they are often better than shooting job applications in the dark.

In that respect, let's create a mega thread of referrals. Here is the format you must follow:

  • Company Name
  • Link to job board (in case job board is not public, try to mention some positions your company is actively hiring for).

This would allow others to approach you for referrals. Let's help each other out.

Want a free trip to anywhere in India? Here's the hack

I am a BTech CSE​ fresher. Curr​ently on mission to genuinely help all my seniors (developers/engineers/CTOs/managers)

Let me tell you what's on the table.

I'll take care of your full family trip (2-way, meals included) to some cold place in India (btw, not a freezer). Sounds good, huh?

Here a catch.

You refer me to your company. Anyhow arrange me an interview, and I will handle the rest. Remember that interview is important here.

I am a meritorious student (final-year almost done by end of May 2026). My experience includes but not limited to building web apps., full stack, cloud-related, ML powered, and fintech scalable projects. I have won several national level competitions(IIT D), hackathons (IISc B) etc. Stepped out of my comfort zone early.

Once I break into tech industry, I’m going to save up a lot and give a chunk of it back to the person who helped​ me getting placed.

I aspire to become a software engineer.

I am man of my words so take this post seriously.

Not all hereos wear cap; some just provide a referral

This post is a token of appreciation for all those 10+ people who saw a burning passion inside me and referred me to their respective companies, without asking anything in return.

I hope for the best,

I am a BTech CSE​ Fresher. Curr​ently on mission to help all my seniors (developers/engineers/CTOs)

Let me tell you what's on the table.

I'll pay for your full family trip to some cold place in India (btw, not a freezer) or a week full of dinner(zomato/swiggy) from my own money. Sounds good, huh?

Here a catch.

You refer​ me to your company. Anyhow arrange me an interview, and I will handle the rest. Remember - interview is important here.

I am a meritorious student (final-year almost done) batch of 2022-26. I have won several national level competitions(IIT D), hackathons (IISc B) etc. Built web apps., full stack, cloud-related, ML powered, and fintech scalable projects, Specializing in AI, ML & Robotics. Stepped out of my comfort zone early.

As of now I am willing to put all my efforts to get to work on something be it web dev or GenAI​ stuff or cloud infra, quant, quantum anything. Even if you're not​ associated with a top company, it doesn't matter. I am not obsessed with money right now.

I don't have special hobbies but spending some time here​ is my everyday cup of cappuccino. Right now I just want to get my skin into​ tech space. I can do coding every single day for 365 days with a burning passion of a 1000 suns & my updated resume is already attached on profile.

So, Once I get an internship/job, I will keep saving a small portion from and give it back to the generous person who introduced (referred) me to his IT/Software company.

I aspire to become a software engineer.

I am man of my words.

Forget remote or onsite.

Just tell me one thing upon looking at current market scenario -

  1. What would you prefer - Infra, cloud, cyber security etc. ?

And why? (look, it will help thousands​ of freshers like me to make a right career choice)

If you have any exact role name (eg SDE, platform service associate) then mention it

You can also give a creative answer, if any. For example, Shantanu Naidu (a mechanical engineering graduate) ​​​served a personal assistant of the legendary industrialist - late RaTan Tata, soon after kickstarting his journey with some internship in Tata Technologies.
