Here's what you need to do:
Learn new skills as you go through school.
Apply to job postings online.
Most likely, you will get your job through the school.
Meet new people.
Milk connections.
Ask for referrals.
Grind Yeetcode

Also, your lack of experience, but nothing you can do there...

For him it's mostly true but for me, most likely from cold apply. My school career fair is subpar and T250.
true jungle
Also, your lack of experience, but nothing you can do there...
it's stupid though that youre expected to have experience for an internship. Like how is someone going to get experience if internships aren't willing to hire someone that's just starting out.
typical 🤡 tech industry moment

yeh, they just want free labor without saying it out loud.

In my interviews for some companies ask whether i have prior internship experience lol
For first internship application
take home interview is literally free labor.
That’s insanely thorough
And complex
For an interview
this has gotta be some company wanting you to work for free lol
the challenge is super specific
It is important to work without the source files is big red flag to me
Like I get that's normal for a project you deploy but them wanting it independently right now is just straight up free work
private repo is w/e worst case you just make it public

I think They only do this because the only people they end up hiring are the most desperate and will have more chance of retention. If you’ve done all of that to get a job, you’ll do the same amount of extra work to stay in a job. It’s toxic as hell

Agreed. I feel my school students who got their first internship during good market or being lucky to land high paying job despite lack of qualifications are out of touch for current market for first internship or new grad.
