Passionate Python developer from India "waiting" :/ to get hired
#1
Hi, I've been struggling, and struggling, and struggling in my city, Kolkata, for the last 8 years. Sad It's time I need somebody who can hire me as a backend developer in an engineering-centric company. I know Python, and JS, and I like both.

I tried to look at your Github but it's private. Are you struggling with performance in interviews, or are you struggling to get interviews?

Trust me I’m very design oriented, disciplined, with a keen knack for always improving code by experimenting with stuff, reading code back and forth, getting back at it and finding ways to make it better. I started learning Python when I was 25, 2017, and since then I’ve loved many parts of it, hated some, tried to understand the design patterns all by myself. I pass every Python test, even the hard ones except asyncio stuff. What I found recently while I was writing backend with Flask that it does not scale even upto the basic features a backend needs such as OAuth 2.0 with remember-me. I tried for weeks, but now I’m switching to Pyramid to keep my code more Pythonic, and making full use of the loosely coupled flexibility it offers unlike Django. Being a freelancer I have found less interest in RDBMS, I like NoSQL because it is easy and way more scalable for modern backends, and that influences me to stay away from Django because Django is 60% ORM. I still like the clean design it offers, I know there’s a lot more but I’m still not an expert at backend, so I tend to always try every new feature with frameworks that are like Flask, Flask has disappointed me, the community is not helpful, almost everything is welded under an iron hood. Now, I’ve just started learning Pyramid, and I don’t know what’s going to come next. The problem with finding a good job in my country is that all these new companies are bad, their stack is bad unless they use Django at least. I don’t have enough Django experience, so I apply for the Flask based fullstack roles, nobody even understands the good amount of fundamentals I’m good at. On LinkedIn, it’s full of bad companies with bad products, and other job boards don’t offer good salaries. This cycle keeps burning me out because no matter how much I try I don’t get hired because my work ex is below par. How can I at least get a job because freelance is the worst thing a man can do? This gets me real worried. I’ve cleared interviews, but they don’t hire me when they hear that my work ex not sizeable.

What does it mean to "clear" an interview where you don't get hired? There's a lot in your post I could unpack, but I'd recommend you start with https://interviewing.io/ or something like it, to get a friendly external perspective on what's going on during your interviews.
