Consideration of Repository Maintenance Discontinuation and Archival

Consideration of Repository Maintenance Discontinuation and Archival

---

Hello Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to reach out to you regarding the future of our GitHub repository. Over the past 1 month, I have strived to provide a valuable resource for the tech community, particularly in India-based tech roles for freshers.
However, as the sole contributor and maintainer of this repository, I have been facing some challenges. There are currently only a small number of individuals actively interested in the repository, with practically no community engagement.

I have made efforts to promote and share this repository, both online and in person, but regrettably, the interest and support from the community have been minimal. At times, I've encountered a lack of interest, and regrettably, some individuals have responded with negative reactions, which have included instances of personal attacks and derogatory comments. Additionally, there has been a noticeable discrepancy between expressions of support in words and active participation or contribution, and the usage of this repository which can be described as 'lip service. Despite my genuine intentions to create a valuable resource for our community, it seems that there is little to no genuine interest or willingness to contribute or engage with the repository.

It's worth noting the paradox that exists when considering the current job market challenges and economic uncertainties. While there is widespread concern about job opportunities and the impact of a recession, it is disheartening to observe that valuable resources, such as this repository, sometimes do not receive the recognition or attention they deserve. Despite the dedicated efforts put into its creation and maintenance, it is a noteworthy observation that the relevance and importance of such resources may not always be fully recognized or appreciated by the very community they aim to assist. This has led me to consider whether it makes sense to continue actively maintaining it, given the limited impact and interest.

Before making a final decision, I value your input and feedback. If you have thoughts on the matter, whether it's suggestions, alternative solutions, or reasons to continue the repository, please share them in this issue thread. Your insights will be taken into consideration during this evaluation process. In the coming weeks, I will carefully assess the feedback received and evaluate the options available. My goal is to make an informed decision that aligns with the interests of the community and the resources at hand.

Thank you for your understanding.

Best regards,
Samiran Ghosh.

Collaborative Discussion: Ensuring Authenticity and Safety of Tech Job Leads

Issue Description:

In our mission to provide a valuable resource hub for aspiring tech professionals, we've encountered significant challenges related to the authenticity and safety of job leads. Scammers and fraudulent listings prey on the vulnerability of job seekers, and we believe that by pooling our collective knowledge and experience, we can create a set of protocols that empower job seekers to navigate this landscape with confidence and security.

Challenges Faced:

1. Poor User Experience on Official Portals: Many official careers portals suffer from poor user experience, outdated listings, and accessibility issues that can deter job seekers from using them effectively.

2. Proliferation of Fake Listings: Fraudulent job listings on third-party platforms, especially those that mimic legitimate companies, make it challenging to distinguish genuine opportunities from scams.

3. Difficulty in Verification: Verifying the authenticity of job leads from lesser-known companies or startups can be challenging, often leading to uncertainty for job seekers.

4. Limited Access to Verified Information: Some legitimate job leads might not be available on official portals and instead are posted on engineers' profiles or platforms with varying degrees of trustworthiness.

Objective:

This issue serves as a platform for initiating an open and honest discussion among different stakeholders, including students, experienced job seekers, engineers, recruiters, and training and placement officers. Our aim is to collaboratively devise effective protocols that address these challenges and establish a safer environment for job seekers.

Proposed Discussion Topics:

1. Recognizing Red Flags: Sharing experiences and insights about common tactics used by scammers in the tech job search landscape.
2. Personal Experiences: Sharing anecdotes about encountering fraudulent job listings or phishing attempts.
3. Verification Best Practices: Discussing strategies and tools that can be used to verify the authenticity of job leads and company information.
4. Encouraging Regular Updates: Brainstorming ways to encourage legitimate companies to maintain updated and informative official careers portals.
5. Viable Validation Tools: Exploring the potential for tools or platforms that can provide validation and security checks for job listings.
6. Empowering Job Seekers: Crafting a comprehensive checklist or guide that job seekers can use to evaluate the legitimacy of job opportunities.
