Recession in IT is not a new thing. In fact, in Engineering itself is not a new thing. Once in a while, Industries will consolidate the position and then a new paradigm will emerge.

While i will also not recommend you to target a specific set of companies.

Somethings to have in mind while going on your job hunt can be:-

1. Doing Internship, can help you get PPO( preplacement offers )
2. Be active on LinkedIn, given that the number of people applying for job are at all-time high its advisable to be more active on LinkedIn
3. Make connections in startup and reach out to the people over there, showing your working project can help you standout
4. Reach out to HR and senior executives through LinkedIn dm or cold emails.
5. Reach out to early stage startup founders, college alumni working in early stage startups show them some real world projects.
6. Be part of Telegram/Discord groups where job opening are being send.

As a fresher, focus on networking, upskilling, and applying to smaller companies or startups that are still hiring. Optimize your resume and LinkedIn profile to highlight relevant skills, projects, and certifications. Leverage platforms like LinkedIn, AngelList, and Indeed to find job postings, and participate in coding competitions, hackathons, or open-source projects to showcase your skills. Reach out to alumni, mentors, and industry connections for referrals, and consider internships or contract roles to gain experience while larger companies resume hiring.
