Please help with your suggestions to this Depressed fish!
10 YOE and worked diligently with sub standard package relying on bosses alms without realised the exploitation until recently.
But now I really want to make it big.

So got some offers, but not those which I am looking for. Skillset is cutting edge cloud.cold applying on LinkedIn job openings aren't helping getting decent interview calls!
Can you please show me some path? Or am I estimating myself beyond my capabilities!
Really frustrated. SOS

Hello OP, the word exploitation hit hard home for me too 😭 Cold apply nor networking in linkedin didn’t work for me too. Be consistent and deep dive role searches in career portals. I was in the same boat as well until recently.

9 YOE in DB with lesser cloud exp. I started applying in June 1st week and had an offer by 3rd week. Not the ideal or pay master one. Started looking for roles in Big tech career portals. Applied for few in Amazon directly and got a call for the same after 30 days for a dev in AWS. Glad to say I am joining Amazon next week.

This is to say don’t falter in checking and applying for jobs every single day with a tailored and strong resumè. The amazon recruiter mentioned that my resumè was impossible to pass at and had refrred to few different teams as well incase the role I had applied didn’t work out.

All the best for your job search!😊

References are the key for some big companies .. see if you can get someone to refer you to the companies you wish to apply. It worked for me.. i interviewed for fortune 1 company last year and dint clear the final round due to domain knowledge , but the second round interviewer referred me to a different team this year and I got through..

Don’t worry, if you are being rejected from one company it is because there is something better waiting for you .. all the best !

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
