A machine learning engineer is encountering significant challenges in their job search after their previous startup abruptly shut down, erasing all digital records of employment. The engineer reported that major companies, including Swiggy, have rejected their applications due to difficulties in verifying their work history. The startup, which had been struggling financially for a year, ceased operations, leaving the engineer with only payslips, an exit email, and a No Objection Certificate (NOC) as proof of employment. Despite assurances from the CEO to assist with background verification, the engineer has faced multiple rejections. Social media users have provided advice, suggesting that the engineer should avoid over-explaining their situation during interviews and focus on presenting the available documentation. They emphasized that having payslips and support from the CEO could be sufficient for verification, as the startup's registration information would still exist in the Ministry of Corporate Affairs (MCA) database.
