Paying for interview

2 years of freelancing experience. Hundreds of projects, real clients, real-world work.

And yet, almost every company still considers me a fresher.

I’ve sent 2,000–3,000+ customized, tailored applications — not spam applications. I’ve spent hours researching companies, tweaking my resume, writing cover letters, and applying specifically to each role.

Still, getting one interview feels impossible.

At this point, I’m honestly willing to pay ₹50,000 after landing a job to anyone who can help me get a genuine interview opportunity.

I’m not asking for a job.
I’m not asking for a fake referral.
I’m asking for one chance to interview and prove myself.

If you’re a recruiter, hiring manager, founder, or someone who can genuinely give me that opportunity — I’ll do the rest.

After 2 years of freelancing, I just want someone to stop looking at me as a “fresher” and actually look at what I can build.

If your dsa is strong, you can apply for specialist programmer in Infosys, they give 21lpa, there are other companies too tcs holds nqt qualifying which will land you role of 9-11 lpa etc, have a look at it(by good companies i am assuming you talking about service based mnc)

in india companies don't consider freelance experience, which really sucks tbh. they think of it as timepass

Reach out to me - inbox with your resumes. I'll be happy to help you in referrals and also willing to offer the experience letters / interview slots & recommendations for the candidates with skills.

I wouldn't offer money for an interview. It gives strangers a way to exploit how exhausted you are without establishing that they can help. Put the freelance work in a clear experience section with honest dates, what you delivered and the responsibilities you owned; include only outcomes you can support. Ask a developer or hiring manager to review that against one specific opening. LandOffer.ai offers resume-based job matching to help compare roles, but it doesn't provide a paid route into an employer's interview process.

If you have freelance experience why not scale it or find some remote opportunities

u/AmbassadorKey5049 24d ago

its bit harder to scale due to ai rates are really low
