I see posts all the time about the “tough” market going on right now but why cant recruiter and hiring managers give a chance to entry level. I mean real entry level 0-2 years of experience. I honestly do not feel bad for some recruiters that ignore messages because you dont have the experience they are looking for.

But we do? Plenty of entry-level roles out there and yet many of them aren't being filled, let alone the intermediate/senior roles. I know we have personally been struggling filling a recruiter position for months despite an awesome compensation package (I made 90k right out of uni) and NO experience required. GENERALLY SPEAKING pipelining junior candidates straight into senior level roles "to give them a chance" is a disaster recipe waiting to happen when many of them lack the fundamental skills required for productive independent work. It is a disfavor to all parties involved.

Im no saying to give an entry level role a senior position. I am taking about entry level with 0-2 years of experience. There are countless of jobs posted as “entry level” asking for a minimum 2+ years.

Think of it as online dating. If you have nothing to bring to the table, what seperates you from the rest of the pack? Many of the roles that require "no experience" are going to be snapped up in days. You won't find them on Linkedin, it'll be through a friend of a friend. "Entry level" doesn't mean "easy". There is a significant cost & time that needs to be invested in someone with 0 experience, before that person's work is productive enough to benefit the company they work for. Because they have no exp, there's no track record to prove how resilient or loyal they will be. What if they leave right after to join another org? What if they just aren't cut out for the work? Why would you make a high-risk investment for minimal reward when there are lots of options out there?

I studied computer science in school but I didn’t do well due to life coming in the way. I got poor grades but ultimately finished my degree without any internship experience.

After three months of job search, I started for 45K at a construction company as a Jr App Support. After a year I shifted in to QA for 65k and now after a year of QA, I have finally gotten a position as a software engineer for 78K base.

The imposter syndrome is finally gone!

Hang in there, hard work pays off.

Currently I have TCS offer of 16.7CTC.
Is it worth going to TCS, as I have heard they dont give much hike, if I stay in current company in 2years I will reach the package TCS is giving me.

I would like to hear your thoughts and opinions here.

Any thoughts on the best certifications to get in order to help move forward? I have considered the CCP from World at Work, but it’s fairly pricey to get by the time you wrap up everything.

I was hoping to get some thoughts on this from others? Thanks
