Please Help :: Should I pursue CS Masters in USA or remain in India to join Startups?
Hi I'm going to graduate in May 23 and I'm applying for data engineer position from many companies but I'm not getting call back. I have a percentage hit of 60% + from jobanalytics for most jobs. I have 4 years of experience from that field. I'm doing MSIS from Northeastern. What did you do to increase your call back from organizations? FYI Im not modifying my resume for each application but I've formed a general resume covering lot of areas. Should I make individual changes? What am I missing? Any form of help is appreciated. If the market is flooded what can I do? I'm already too focused on ML, Data engineering, data analyst, business analyst, business intelligence, DevOps from my coursework. Outside this I am studying oops, frontend, backend, data structures and algorithms from Udemy, and Coursera. I'm looking to improve wherever I could to increase my callback rate. What more to do? Thanks TC 0
ship your resume to the hiring manager in a giant refrigerator box. so zany 🤪! you’ll stand out from the crowd and be fast tracked to hire
Do you need sponsorship
Yea... Within 3 years of employment to continue working in usa
That’s the problem
Try for referrals. Otherwise it's really difficult.
Trying that route as well... But things doesn't seem to work
Yeah happened to me as well. Got ghosted a lot of times. Try getting referrals from college alumni because there's a higher chance they will at least not ghost you and probably can give you more connections.
More tech companies are firing than hiring right now. It's a supply:demand issue.
Blame the bootcampers, incompetent frauds bullshitting on their resumes, and money-chasing bandwagoners who 180'd their career/major (not as competent in general to their counterparts).
Why hate career changers?
1. Gold diggers! Specifically those that have no genuine interest in the field and just changed their career because they're chasing the "quick/easy" money. 2. Unnecessarily extra-bloating the pool of candidates. News of these hot careers creates a "gold rush" effect, and now you have to compete with these shameless opportunists you wouldn't have had to otherwise. 3. You're getting cut in line. I've seen too many times a person who had an undergrad degree in some completely unrelated to data science or comp sci, or even engineering (kinesiology) and no interest/knowledge in the field, and they go and get an (easy?) [data science,CS]-like graduate degree from some obscure uni. I've seen these same people apply and get hired to internships and entry-level positions over students and undergrads of actual CS or data science, who in my opinion intentionally chose that degree and have a genuine interest in the field, plus more likely to understand/know the fundamentals. 4. From my personal experience having worked with some of these people they are nothing but frauds.
Right now, most companies are firing rather than hiring. So it’s not you or your resume. Once things start to improve , you will see more hits
It's the market, not many are hiring right now and you are competing with all the laid off folks
Even in a good market, the hit rate is around 2 to 5 percent. All you can do is keep applying crazily. It's a lot about luck than your credentials sometimes. At the same time, try to use all the new chatgpt tools that help you curate your resume based on the job description. By capturing keywords, you will have a better chance
How do you beat this problem? There has to be something that I can do other than crazily apply. I already do 30-40 applications a day.
1. Target companies and roles that are very relevant to your experience 2. Sometimes companies ask optional subjective question like tell me this about that project. Answer those questions. My hit rate is over 50% when I answer those questions 3. Get a better degree. When there are 10000 other applicants who are more or less same, the chances of getting a call reduces. This is specially true for MS candidates. But i would think that phds have a better hit rate 4. Use your network to the best. Ask for referrals or do targeted cold mailing on LinkedIn to hiring managers. Be sure to make it personal and relevant and not a copy paste message. Think what would excite them. 5. Ask chatgpt, I am sure it has some ideas
It’s a good idea to tailor your resume for the position you’re applying. Don’t need to lie, but put more emphasis on the stuff that matters for the position.
You mean change for every job application? Isn't it way too time consuming compared to the number of jobs available?
do you want the job or not?
