Graduated from a T20 US university, US Citizen, got only one job offer in May 2023 after 300-400 apps to work in Fiserv’s New Grad Tech Analyst Program. I was desperate for a software job so I took it at first chance. Been ~4 months in as a New Grad at Fiserv and I hate my job. I really dislike the company and there’s no work life balance (being asked to be available before 6 AM and after 8:30 PM) and the total compensation is horrendous - sub 100k in VHCOL. I don’t know what to do. Job hopping in this market seems impossible - I already sent out 100s of new grad apps with referrals and I’m still being ghosted or rejected. I absolutely want to resign ASAP because I can’t take the pressure anymore but I don’t have any backup job offers rn. Need advice on what to do. I can’t stay in this job longer then two months.
Well, that's good. I would suggest that you stick it out, keep finding for a new job while you are working here. I am in a similar situation too brother, joined a new job but hate it here, no wlb, but i guess market is shitty so not a lot of opportunities outside. I am on visa so can't stay jobless.
Yeah, these companies keep getting best places to work awards, i guess that doesn't really mean anything. Even amazon got best place to work, i heard that its bad there, everyone is over worked there, warehouse workers to software devs.
Find a federal government job for software engineer and job hopping when the economic is different
Ah the sweet wlb of government jobs.
Just keep sending apps out. It’s the only way.
