u/No-Somewhere-3097

I’m currently working as a Backend Developer at Amazon Web Services (AWS) with around 1 year of experience, and I’ve recently started exploring opportunities outside for better growth and compensation.

I’m specifically trying to understand how candidates are being evaluated today, especially at top product companies like Rippling, Stripe, Glean, Meta, Uber, and similar orgs.

Despite having what I thought was a decent background, I’m honestly not getting as many callbacks as I expected from bigger firms. So I’m looking to connect with recruiters / Talent Acquisition folks / hiring professionals who’d be open to reviewing my profile and giving genuine feedback on things like:

• Resume gaps or weak points
• What might be affecting callback rates
• How hiring expectations for software engineers have changed in the AI era
• What candidates should be doing differently today to stand out

I’m not looking for referrals or shortcuts. I genuinely want to understand where I stand and how I can improve my chances instead of blindly applying everywhere.

Also, I completely respect that this takes time and expertise, so I’m more than happy to pay for resume reviews, profile feedback, or career guidance conversations.

Please drop a comment or DM. Thanks! ✨

People keep talking about Deloitte’s hiring process, aptitude rounds, interviews, prestige, blah blah. Nobody talks about what actually happens AFTER you get selected.

Let me tell you.

Deloitte USI was claiming to pay around 7.6 LPA CTC to people from NITs/IITs for analyst-level roles. But the actual amount you get in your account per month is only **45,700** (exactly). And for many other colleges, even less. Imagine grinding through engineering, coding rounds, internships, projects, only to end up getting paid peanuts by a company that sells itself like some dream destination.

And the worst part? They make you wait **months** before joining, only to dump you into these painfully basic “training” programs.

I’m not exaggerating when I say they teach things at a level where if you already know how to use your laptop and have basic technical understanding, you’ll feel your brain melting. It genuinely feels designed for people with zero exposure to tech.

For months, your life becomes:
\- endless lectures
\- useless assignments
\- dummy projects
\- assessments after assessments
\- internal exams
\- forced learning modules

Meanwhile, your friends in other companies are already working on real projects, gaining actual industry exposure, learning from real teams.

At Deloitte USI, you’re stuck *pretending* PowerPoint training and Spark modules are “career growth.”

Then comes the biggest scam people don’t warn you about: **THE EXAMS.** ⚠️

I saw so many posts saying:
“Don’t worry, even if you fail the assessment, Deloitte will still keep you.” Absolute bullshit.

**They can and WILL push people out**.

No transparency. No proper evaluation discussion. No clarity on where you went wrong. You ask for another chance, ask to be moved to another batch, ask to see your evaluation — nothing. They’ll corner you into resigning instead of formally firing you.

Imagine getting campus selected in college, believing your future is secure, waiting months for onboarding, surviving all their nonsense training… only to realize **your job was never actually guaranteed.**

And once you’re finally inside?
\- Weekend meetings.
\- Work pressure.
\- Constant expectations.
\- Fake corporate positivity.

The first two days are designed to emotionally manipulate you into thinking you joined some world-class organization. Fancy presentations, big global names, “we care about employees,” “inclusive culture,” all that corporate theatre.

None of it matters when your actual day-to-day life is **miserable**.

And please stop romanticizing Deloitte culture online. The coffee mugs, office aesthetics, LinkedIn posts, “Big 4 life” nonsense — none of that reflects the reality most freshers experience.

If you genuinely want to learn, grow technically, and work on meaningful projects early in your career, there are far better places.

Deloitte USI survives because of its brand name and the desperation of fresh graduates who think any big company logo automatically means success. Stay away if you value your mental peace.✌️

PS 1: To all the freshers seeing this, this post is not meant to demoralise you. This post is to bring the reality infront of you. For you to know what are the practices in the organisation you’re planning to join, so if you can hustle your way into going ANYWHERE better, you’d thank yourself for having read this and acted upon it.

PS2 : To the folks who went ahead and looked up my Reddit profile, and say why do I care, I work at Amazon OR say this profile/post is fake. I simply don’t care to prove you or anyone else right. I wrote this post because someone really close to me suffered a lot in this company and I have innate hate for this place. I want people to at least know what they are getting themselves into, something my person didn’t at his time. It’s all good karma, so say whatever you want to :)

Hey folks, thanks for reading this.

I am failing for find a 1 BHK in a society in or around Mahadevpura. All I can find are 2/3 BHKs. Or 1BHKs in a standalone building.

Does you (or someone you know) happen to live in a society that has a badminton court and swimming pool? Or does this combination simply not exist in this region and I’m looking for too much? 🥲

Looking for homes in: Mahadevpura, Kadubusenahlli, Whitefield and all places in the range of 5km from Google Ananta office.

Appreciate any leads. Need to get out of my standalone 1BHK asap. Thanks !! 🫶🏻✨

Hi! 👋🏻 I’m looking for a room in a 2BHK with a female flatmate (or someone who’s also searching and wants to find a place together). I currently live in a 1 BHK standalone building, and my contract ends in** mid Jun**e. I am looking for a general upgrade in my living standards, so wanted to move to a gated society with good amenities.

A little about me — I’m 24, working at Amazon (office at Bagmane Constellation). I’m really easygoing, low-drama, and value having a peaceful, comfortable home. 🫶🏻

Lifestyle-wise:
- I eat non-veg (mostly chicken, no seafood)
- I drink occasionally and smoke sometimes, but always within my room — won’t interfere with your space

I already have some furniture and kitchen essentials, so happy to share and coordinate based on what the house already has.

I’m looking for a chill and friendly female flatmate, that’s it. If this sounds like your vibe or you have a room available, please DM me! Happy to move in early to mid June🌻
