I have no real exp of backend development, but I was able to fake my experience on my resume and pose as one to get two offers. I have 3.5 years of experience, and I cannot decide between the two. I need real work ex to switch in the future. But the brand name and benefits also matter.
1. Salesforce - Technical Support (Lots of benefits but rotational shift) - 19.25 LPA
2. Wissen Technology - (Work for Morgan Stanley) - Java Developer - 18 LPA
Which should I pick, given my non dev background?

Go with Salesforce.. it is a very good option. Please keep in mind Morgan Stanley do layoff contractors as and when work is done.. so being a direct employee is always better than being a contractor

Salesforce is good choice.. brand and benefits.. because it's support role, you will get to learn and later you you could justify your take experience as well...
Directly going into development might be tough because of high expectations.

How u able get calls coz I have 2.5 years experience not getting any call from any website please suggest what I have to do get calls of interview

Stay consistent, be active on linkedin, github, leetcode, etc. apply rigorously. There’s no shortcut.

Hi, I'm Isha — 2025 B.Tech CS graduate. I dropped a year to prepare for GATE but eventually decided to focus on getting a job instead. I've been applying to fresher SDE roles at service-based MNCs on Naukri and LinkedIn but haven't received a single call yet.

Now I'm really confused — should I keep applying, or just do MTech and get placed through college placements? Is MTech worth 2 extra years just for placement? Or is there something I'm doing wrong in my job search?

Any honest advice would mean a lot. 🙏

Go for masters, trust me. The job market is brutal right now, especially for freshers. Go for placement, but doing masters wont be enough. Stay ahead of the competition. DSA and personal projects is the basic expectation if you want to get placed in a good company. My seniors told me system design was asked to senior engineers, now they have HLD LLD rounds even for 1-2 YOE candidates. And a two year course will give you enough time to build your profile, learn DSA, system design, building projects, etc. try to get internships in the first year itself. Work hard.
