I'm feeling utterly exhausted and demotivated after a tough few months in the job market. I graduated in 2026 from a tier-1 college with a degree in Computer Science, but due to my branch, I was limited to average salary packages of 6-12 LPA. My low CGPA prevented me from getting shortlisted for a few companies, but I finally got an internship offer with a service-based company in Hyderabad that promised a full-time opportunity after six months at around 8.5 LPA. I joined them in January, and things seemed to be going well. They were hiring a lot and even brought in a batch of 2025 graduates. However, after a month, I received shocking news: they had cut 10-15% of their workforce, and despite being a top performer, I was among those who didn't get converted to full-time. This left me in disbelief and struggling to process the unexpected rejection. After that, I tried to pivot my career and managed to get a DSA trainer role at two companies while interviewing for a couple more. Just when I thought things were looking up, the college I was supposed to join revoked my offer for the semester. Fortunately, one company that had ghosted me after two interviews suddenly reached out and asked me to join immediately. With limited options and the tech job market feeling like it was collapsing, I had to take it, even though I was suspicious about the salary they offered compared to what I found online. Now, I'm teaching tier-4 students, many of whom graduated two years ago and are struggling to find jobs. Their grasping power is weak, but I've been able to slow down my teaching pace to match theirs, and it seems to be going well. However, I recently found out that the company is still posting job openings for my role, which raises my suspicions. Today, HR called me to resign after my probation period, and I can't help but feel exhausted and lost about my future. The market for freshers has plummeted by about 70% due to AI advancements and companies restructuring their budgets, leading to a reduced need for developers. I'm starting to lose faith in this field and don't know what my next steps should be.
