If i wait another 2-3 months i will be competing with 2025 passouts.

If tech is your long term goal, maybe give it a few more months. But do you think working in BD might help you network into tech roles?

Have you tried getting referrals instead of just applying directly? Might speed things up

I get the frustration with HR ghosting, it sucks...But have you tried reaching out to employees of those companies on LinkedIn for updates?

You're in a tricky spot, but getting three clears shows you're on the right track. If you're confident about landing a tech job soon, waiting could be an option. However, given market uncertainty, taking the startup offer ensures stability while you keep applying and upskilling.
A non-tech role isn’t ideal, but it’s still experience. You can work on side projects, contribute to open-source, or freelance to stay relevant in tech. Plus, switching later from a job is often easier than from unemployment.
Have you explored networking, referrals, or improving your online presence (GitHub, LinkedIn)? That might speed up your tech job search. What’s your gut feeling—do you see a realistic shot at a tech job soon?
