where did u find 800 jobs

#

bro i can barely find any listings

digital ruin
#

ive been looking since before intern season so theres were ~300 before augustish

#

u gotta just google software engineering internships and look through every job board imaginable

sterile bobcat
#

it's ok bro they take 1-2 months to look at apps

#

in october u will be rolling in interviews

digital ruin
#

obviously the simplify and vansh ones but make sure you also apply for every small comapny in the world

#

gotta do 40 a day

#

when you start like really looking for hours you'll find rabit holes

grave cedar
#

800 apps before zon opened

#

sterile bobcat
#

rip

digital ruin
#

i never got rejected

#

😭

sterile bobcat
#

well

#

i hear they don't make u interview the next summer

digital ruin
#

im hoping that means auto offer this yr

sterile bobcat
#

if that happens

digital ruin
#

yeah we'll see

digital ruin
#

they gave offers there

grave cedar
#

NOOOO

sterile bobcat
#

even then you won't know until december prob

digital ruin
#

it was way early in the year though

grave cedar
#

wait so no more walmar

digital ruin
#

yeah its over

#

chase is also over (?) cause i heard people got the code for good which = swe intern

grave cedar
#

chase hasnt int yet

#

i need to up my game

digital ruin
#

someone was asking me if i was going to the thing so i assumed they got an offer

#

but bro dont be slacking on apps

#

im realizing now that its when you apply not what u apply with

#

a bunch of my friends got rejections for companies i applied for and havent heard back yet

#

which means they reached app count

#

yes

heavy bramble
#

800 is insane

#

im only at like 260

digital ruin
#

it was fall/winter/spring/summer 2025-2026

#

so fall winter 2025-26 and spring summer 26

Ok ayman good luck my friend

tepid junco
digital ruin
#

what works better

tepid junco
#

these random positions like swe intern @ bobs fishing shop in bum wyoming are never gonna intv u if ur not local

#

and tbh they prolly fill the positions with nepo anyways

tepid junco
#

and focus ur applying and networking efforts on the worthwhile companies

digital ruin
#

ok ill keep that in mind

#

thanks for the advice

#

tho dont think masters is the move for me

#

research is viable now though

tepid junco
#

ye np, ur way better off applying to just like f500+ companies and then trying to network ur way into a high-level referral or direct send to hm or smth

tepid junco
digital ruin
#

im not interested in going into ai/ data and extending my education because I cant find a job isnt gonna help me

#

i know enough masters students who're facing that

#

they went into cyber / ai mostly and still dont have any prospects

tepid junco
#

i think itll make a diff if ur masters school is a lot better than ur ugrad

digital ruin
#

it might

#

im not 100% against it but with how $$$ it is too we'll see

#

im still a junior so i got a year to figure out

tepid junco
#

id delay grad first fs

digital ruin
#

im already struggling to stay the full 4 years cause i have too many credits

#

😭

tepid junco
#

u can just take a loa

digital ruin
#

just taking a loan isnt a solution unless ive got actual prospects after

tepid junco
digital ruin
#

oh

#

yeah i'd take one if i can get a co-op or something

tepid junco
#

even if u dontp

#

u can take just to focus on recruiting

#

thats what i did

digital ruin
#

thats not a bad idea?

#

ill actually think about that

tepid junco
#

its highkey the most goated tech imo

#

ppl dont do it bc of like stigma of staying in school longer

eager vapor
#

Ye I might take a loa

#

Ngl

tepid junco
#

but like who cares if u took 6 years to graduate

eager vapor
#

So I can recruit hrt next summer 😳 😯

grave cedar
#

river furnace

digital ruin
#

grave cedar
#

grave cedar
eager vapor
digital ruin

eager vapor

grave cedar
eager vapor
#

Me shooting for an internship

digital ruin
#

would it still be worth it to do that if i do get a decent internship this season

eager vapor
#

If u wanna work there full time then no

digital ruin
#

well i guess it depends on if i get full time ro

tepid junco
digital ruin
#

having a job would be pretty decent for me

grave cedar
#

i think 130k non nyc or sf is decnt

#

or am i out of touch

digital ruin
#

its wellsfargo in isrlin nj or something

#

its 40m from the city

#

they said something like if you get accepted chances of ro are high into same office

tepid junco
grave cedar
#

for sure

#

do ppl job hop 1~2 years into their ng job

digital ruin
#

yes

#

especially swe's

grave cedar
#

heard its looked down upon

#

ah okok

tepid junco
#

nah not that deep

digital ruin
#

its looke down upon in other industries cause loyalties or whatever but companies dont care about us

#

we dont care about them

#

🤷

#

if someone else pays more in a better place why say no

river furnace
#

i think mass applying to this number of roles is kinda insane

#

and i know its a number game, but there's a point where maybe ur resume is problematic or some part of your profile

like even if ur resume gives u a 5% shot, even if u mass apply it still might not guarentee anything

eager vapor
#

Hopefully you get something soon

digital ruin
#

i do mock practice ever week tho

#

it’s 1/800 so far but it could be cause interviews haven’t started

eager vapor
#

I c

digital ruin
#

like i’ve applied to maybe 200 this week and those just opened

eager vapor
#

One of my friends is at a top school and he’s also like 1/300

#

So it’s tuff

digital ruin
#

yeah i’m doing this cause last yr my problem was i applied to everything late

#

i’m not gonna let timing / number of apps be my issue this year

#

cause literally i didn’t even remember applying to wellsfargo and now that’s the only interview i have

#

maybe in a few months i’ll get some crazy offer cause i randomly applied

#

🤷

grave cedar
#

Its def a mix of timing and luck

digital ruin
#
