I graduated in 2023 and joined an MNC as a Junior Software Engineer. I wasn’t assigned to any project for nearly 2 years and was recently laid off due to lack of projects.

I couldn’t gain hands-on experience and now feel unsure about what skills to focus on or how to move forward.

I would really appreciate advice on:

- What skills to learn
- How to build practical experience
- How to get new opportunities

Any guidance would be helpful. Thank you.

Hello Fishes,

So far I received offers from PwC India, Capgemini and Lexmark for Data Engineering.

More are in pipeline from KPMG GS, TechM, Accenture.

But one peculiar thing is happening. I have appeared for 4 Cognizant interviews but in all I have been rejected. Whereas most of my friends had easily cleared Cognizant. I am switching tech, so I am a bit concerned like whether my knowledge is too shallow😐

Is it sign of an Imposter Syndrome 🥺

Pls help🙏🏾
