Hi guys, I was wondering— is it just me, or is everyone finding it hard to secure an entry-level job? If you are also looking for jobs as a fresh grad, can you please share your strategies or what could be done to secure just one entry-level job?

After 8 years as a full-stack developer, I realized something that completely changed how I think about career growth. It’s not just about mastering technology—it’s about engaging with the tech community. From sharing my journey through public speaking to contributing to open source, these community activities didn’t just expand my technical knowledge—they built my network, opened unexpected doors, and made me a better engineer. I recently wrote about six powerful ways developers can engage with the tech community and why it’s critical for long-term career success in 2025. Check out the full article below, and I’d love to hear from you: - Which community activity has helped your career the most? - Are there any new activities you plan to try this year? Let’s make community engagement a core developer skill. https://dev.to/akshaymittal143/6-powerful-ways-developers-can-get-involved-with-the-tech-community-and-why-it-matters-3elm #SoftwareEngineering #TechCommunity #CareerDevelopment #OpenSource #CloudComputing #AI #MachineLearning
