I’ve been applying continuously for the past 5 months but haven’t received any interview calls. Even when I do, companies want immediate joiners and offer only a 10–15% hike.

Meanwhile, my friend with 5 YOE got selected through a referral after just two simple interview rounds and received a 90% hike as the referral one is director of engineering.

It’s really disheartening to see how much referrals can impact hiring.
