Most of my colleagues from tier 1 college receive calls from recruiters every other week. Here I am struggling to get a single call back from 100 job applications. I have reviewed my CV from multiple people and suggest everything looks good on CV. I’m perplexed about what am I doing wrong?
Background: BTech and MBA from Tier 1, 4 yoe in a boutique firm, 2 promotions in 3 years.

I do agree that area is niche and my own sample size is low but people with same experience consistently get bombarded with interview opportunities

Are you serious about this?

Just playing devil's advocate here, there is a bit of grey area when anyone mentions 'Tier 1'.
Since you've explicitly mentioned Tier 1 colleges, you should be aware that your college may not be considered Tier 1 by recruiters.

Will try to put in my case to fellow alums and check how it goes

It is what it is. Brand matters unless you are a generalist.

What does “it is what is it” imply?

I'm interviewing at a SaaS company that has about 50 people. What's a good way to figure out how financially stable they are? What questions can I ask in an interview? I don't want them to turn around in 6 months and lay me off because the economy isn't doing well.

I renegotiated my start date and it’s different from the date I signed on the offer letter. Do I need to request a revised offer letter or is the email thread with the recruiter sufficient. By the way, my background check is already in progress.

Hi Fishes,

A warning, i have been phished through the premise of a job interview.thats definitely a new low from scammers but verify interviews they plucked my info from indeed and through that got my info, when I got suspicious (after it was too late) I called the "hiring company" (was a real company) and they said i wasn't the only one getting duped. I can't believe people are praying on people looking for a job during a pandemic but apparently some ppl have no soul. Just wanted to share and be vigilant

Do you have advice on how to interview better with Amazon?

My résumé and portfolio are great, and I’ve been asked to interview with Amazon for 4 different teams now.

I have been invited for a new interview today with another team, and I am hoping 4th time is the charm. Any tips on how to do better next time?

This might be philosophical but wanted to understand if we should get satisfied and be happy with what we have or keep striving for more?

Reason I am asking this is - I earn close to 1.5 lakhs every month and if someone had told me this during my college days I would have taken it eyes closed thinking this is more than enough. But today, I am not able to be satisfied and I don't want this to become an affliction so thought to share with others here and get to know the general sentiments.
