5000 applications, hundreds of rejections, 1 offer — my honest experience breaking into tech

Shit,

I dont know how to start this. I spent ungodly number of hours applying for jobs for few years. Had couple of interviews which led me on but never returned back or it was full of rejections. The number crossed more than 5000. I know job market sucks but there is always a hope guys dont give up.

I made a video on how i started, what I did, my experiences, my mistakes during the applications to help some of you out the best I can. If you guys would love a watch here is the video

They pulled me into a surprise meeting. They want to change my permanent contract to an on-demand hourly contract.

I work in England and have been with my current company for over 4 years on a permanent, full-time contract.

This afternoon, my manager and someone from HR called me in and told me that because a few big projects have ended, they can no longer guarantee me the 37.5 hours in my contract going forward.

So their 'solution' was a 'suggestion' that I sign a new hourly contract, and only come to work when they need me.

They've given me until Friday to 'think about my options,' but honestly, I feel like they're backing me into a corner.

So I'm honestly lost. What happens if I say no? Seriously, what are my rights here? Any advice from you would be a huge help.

My manager is threatening to fire me because I left work when my fiancée went to the hospital.

Anyway, yesterday afternoon my manager took me aside and started yelling at me about how I could just "disappear" suddenly from the office, and that we are behind on our targets.

So I told him straight to his face that my fiancée's health is much more important than his company's profits.

He stared at me for a second and then told me that the next time this happens, I shouldn't be surprised if my keycard doesn't work anymore.

So yeah, I'm currently updating my CV. And of course, I won't be giving him any notice when I leave.

[HIRING] Paid Campus Ambassador Role: Help us grow a startup on your campus

Hey everyone,

We’re currently looking for a few paid campus ambassadors (ongoing) for an AI platform from Alibaba.

It is an AI platform that helps you run parts of your business using AI agents — kind of like having an extra team without actually hiring. A lot of early users are solo founders and people building side projects or e-commerce businesses.

We’re currently looking for a few college students in the US to help us grow on campus.

This is a paid, ongoing role with flexible commitment, and it’s very execution-focused — more like working on a real startup than a typical internship.

💡 What you’ll actually do:

- Figure out how to get students at your school to try the product

- Reach out to clubs, student groups, or communities

- Find ways to introduce it (events, group chats, online communities, etc.)

- Test different approaches and see what actually drives signups

🎯 The goal:

- Help drive student signups from your campus and build repeatable growth channels

- Help us understand what works (and what doesn’t)

💰 Compensation:

- Paid (performance-based, with clear incentives)

- Strong performers may continue longer-term or take on a bigger role

👀 Who we’re looking for:

- Current US college students

- Active in campus communities / student groups

- Interested in startups, growth, marketing, or AI tools

- Comfortable reaching out to people and making things happen

🚀 What you’ll get:

- Fairly paid, hands-on experience actually growing a startup

- Real, measurable results you can put on your resume

- Direct exposure to how early-stage growth works

- Strong performers may be considered for future internship opportunities, referrals, or interviews within Alibaba International ecosystem

I’d also love input from people here:

👉 What would make a campus ambassador role actually worth your time?

If you're interested, feel free to DM me or leave a comment here.

Thanks!

I stopped being a work martyr and started leaving at 5:30 sharp. I just got a raise for my 'new focus'.

For about 5 years, I was that guy. First one in the office, last one to leave. I thought that was the right thing to do. I'd check Slack while still in bed and volunteer for any crappy project nobody else wanted. I asked for a promotion four times, and each time I got the same old line: 'You have great potential, but it's not the right time.'
A few months ago, I finally had enough. They promoted a guy who'd been here a third of the time I have, probably because he goes for drinks with the boss every Thursday. That was the final straw for me. I said, enough of killing myself for a company that doesn't care. I started working my exact hours, 8:30 to 5:30, muted all work apps on my phone, and started saying 'no' when people tried to dump their urgent tasks on me.
Anyway, the weirdest thing just happened. My manager called me into his office this morning and gave me a 12% raise. He said it was for my 'noticeable development in leadership and focus.' He told me I'm delivering 'more impactful results' than ever before. And all I did was just nod my head.
I'm seriously baffled. All the things I thought made me a good employee - like being available all night and saying yes to everything - turned out to be what was holding me back. The moment I started treating it as a job instead of a lifestyle, they suddenly see me as a leader. Has this happened to anyone else before? The logic is completely backward.
