A recent BTech graduate has described facing criticism from relatives after missing an online job assessment invitation for a software engineer position at a technology company, despite receiving a referral from a family member. In a Reddit post, the graduate said he had been searching for employment since April and regretted missing the opportunity, while also revealing that the incident had led to his parents and other family members being blamed.
The graduate, who completed his engineering degree earlier this year, said he had applied to numerous companies and appeared for tests and interviews without securing a job. The referral had raised hopes of a potential breakthrough, making the missed assessment particularly upsetting for him.
