I usually never post personal things online, but I genuinely need help from people who have more experience than me.

I completed my BCA in 2022. My family was struggling financially, and during that time I trusted the wrong people. A friend convinced me to join an aviation institute that promised airport jobs with high salaries. I took a ₹90k loan for the course, only to later realize it was almost a scam. The only job they offered everyone 4 Years After Graduation, Still No Stable Job — I Really Need Guidancewas a ₹7k/month cargo worker role.

After that I tried to rebuild myself. I joined Masai School, learned full stack development, practiced DSA, gave 35+ interviews, and still couldn’t get selected anywhere. Then I worked in a senior’s startup for around 1.5 years without salary believing projects would come, but later I found out the company wasn’t even properly set up.

I refused to give up, so recently I switched to Data Engineering and learned Azure Data Factory, Databricks, PySpark, SQL, Delta Lake, etc. I’m applying every day but all I see are rejections.

Now I’m married, my family depends on me, and honestly I feel mentally exhausted and lost. I’m not looking for sympathy. I just want honest guidance from people who understand the industry better than me.

What should someone in my situation realistically do to finally get their first proper tech job?
