I don't know why I can't comment with my last designation but fine.
Market is not actually bad it's a situation purposely created to weed out people with less skills. I've been out of work since March 2026 but after May i realised that this situation has been created by companies deliberately. I saw a LinkedIn trick and tried it and since I've gotten 13 interviews ( because I'm being selective about this) all in product based companies. II'll be joining Barclays soon with this trick. the trick is connectivity most of you might say what's so tricky about it. For someone whose out of a job today it's a good trick talk to people who post jobs or people within the company whose jobs you are applying to, show them your skills, ask for referral and boom you will be shortlisted for an interview rest is all in your hands. This really worked for me so try it if might help you. I connected with many people and learnt about the job situation as there is need for skilled people as with AI most beginner jobs are easily automated.

I am also in QA with 11+years exp. Got laid off last year due to restructuring around july'25. I took an offer on a 3rd party payroll, because better to have something than nothing and it's been a year on the same role and applying in parallel eventhough getting less calls.

I would suggest even if there are freelancing, C2H or 3rd party offers, take them.. Don’t wait for permanent position roles.

Hello fishes, I have offers from two different companies and both are offering same amount of CTC - 18LPA (YOE: 3.2) . Company names are Pristyn Care and Xiaomi technology india pvt. ltd .

Now for Pristyn Care I won't have to move out of Gurgaon (I'm from north India). Xiaomi is calling me to Bangalore. Rest all the benefits seem similar.

CCTC: 17

Got 2 offers:
Lucidworks - 33
Boeing - 35(Verbal offer after countered them with lucidworks offer).

Now with freshworks, last round is pending.
Let me know what would be better.

From interview perspective, I enjoyed lucidworks interview as the interviews taken by quality people compared to other two companies. But it is a startup.

Btw, I have been interviewed for 6 rounds in Citrix and waiting to hear from them.
