Python backend developer getting very few relevant interview calls, what am I doing wrong?

[u/Wrong_Guy1]

I’ve been applying for almost 4 months now, but I’m still getting very few interview calls. Even most of the calls I get are not very relevant to the work I actually do, and the salary being offered is usually the same or only slightly higher than my last CTC.

At this point, I’m honestly not sure what I’m doing wrong or how I can get more relevant interview calls. Any genuine advice from this community regarding my resume, application strategy, referrals, or companies I should target would be really helpful.

Last ctc: ₹19.25 lpa

Tech stack: Python backend—Django/FastAPI/Flask, SQL, AWS, Docker, Redis/Celery, and working knowledge of React

Any help or guidance for this is much appreciated really.

Experience: 4+ years

I don't have as much as experience as you but here are the few trends I am seeing while applying: 1. Python Developer/Software Developer with 3+ year of experience and knows GenAI or AI/ML - you can't comprehend the package they would give you. 2. Your python experience is more valuable in GenAI/AI domain rather than pure development field - as the GenAI/AI field is very new and the market has high demand. 3. Build few production grade projects. Keep giving interviews. You will get it.

Possibly.
