What do do when you are stuck in a bad project with no scope of skills for applying in other companies + you are a fresh graduate who just joined the project? Any escape options?

Nothing is permanent. You'll eventually land up in some good project. All of us have been through this phase. It's too early for you to think about escape options and stuff.

Do some market research and buy some Udemy courses. Upskill and switch after some time. All the best. 🙂

If you have no scope of skills, first step is to build one. Learn some new skills, on something like udemy or perhaps a degree. Best of luck.

You might be stuck if you don't have the option of other companies. We all go through some seemingly impossible times. Go through all the tutorials you can, learn what you need to, and push through this.

After one interview, I tried to withdraw my candidacy due to the salary being lower than expected. Shortly after the hiring manager contacted me to inform me that they accidentally gave me the wrong salary range and invited me to come back for a second interview. I delightedly agreed and the second interview went very well, BUT I haven’t heard anything back yet. Did I accidentally kill my chances by withdrawing too soon then deciding to come back?

After several reschedules, I was finally confirmed with the actual dial-in information ;) for two days 5 interviews. I did the first one with the hiring manager and someone shadowing him. Interviewers did not show up for the second two meetings on the schedule. Not sure what to do at this point. This is AWS. Folks are saying they went through the process pretty quickly. I feel like I already lost a huge amount of time getting the save the date and then taking time off from work.
