Need Career Advice: Fresher Off-Campus Hiring, ₹15 LPA Target & Current SDE Job Market
Hi everyone! I’m Karthik, a recent Computer Science graduate (June 2026) from a Tier-3 college in India.
Unfortunately, my college had limited placement opportunities, and I’m currently looking for off-campus SDE opportunities. My target is to secure a Software Engineer role with a package of around ₹15 LPA.
Given the current job market, I’d appreciate your advice on a few things:
- Should I accept an opportunity that comes my way, even if the salary is below my target, or should I continue preparing for better opportunities?
- How is the current hiring market for freshers, and when can we expect more SDE-1 openings?
- What skills or preparation should I prioritise to stand out in off-campus hiring?
I’d be grateful for insights from experienced professionals and fellow job seekers. Any practical advice, suggestions, or guidance would be genuinely appreciated.
Thank you!
