I haven't even finished college and I've been working for years as a full-time dev.
Stop whining and get a job.
same but I got a reasonable job (for where I live at least)
just do some projects and apply to all the graduate jobs you can find on every job site you can find, you'll be fine OP
not your blog homosexual.
So un-mess up by getting an internship or entry level job. Take it from me, the 35 year old unemployable NEET, a minor frickup only turns into a colossal frickup if you either keep making it or don't take steps to fix it.
Same and no one will give me an internship or entry level job so I've been working scanning and bagging items for 2.5 years
If you don’t get picked up from an internship in school you’re literally SOL forever - but this is why internships are usually a requirement during your senior year. If you somehow scammed yourself out of the opportunity you deserve all your misfortune.
I am not my former self. It's the fault of the person which I no longer am. That person also intended for me to carry the consequences of his actions.
Tell that to the guy who is interviewing you or put it on your resume and see how that goes.
>literally
My friend who goes to the same ok state school as me didn't manage to get any internships during college and got a fulltime position at meta (facebook) straight out of college. He graduated a year early as well. No need for these weird generalizations
I bet his name rhymes with zhang
Nah he's white, most asians I know would be scared to slack during college and look for internships
Yeah as someone who browsed IQfy in high school and college and is now actually in industry, it's pretty hilarious how disconnected from reality people are on here who talk about tech jobs. A lot of the people I'm around and the people I met in college are not incredibly smart, are not minorities, and are often fairly awkward and did little networking, but making at least $100k out of college is still pretty common with them.
Welcome to the club
Is it really that difficult to get a tech job? Can you say you've tried your hardest if you're here whining to us? Can you say you really gave it your *best* effort? Come on man!
Don't worry, they wouldn't want you afterwards when they can barely pay the next undergraduate intern.
Everyone is going to lose their jobs
Your only hope is to paint yourself black and pray you get diversity hired
I neglected internships and partying and friends to focus on my studies.
Now I am begging staffing agencies for warehouse packing jobs.
go to your local intersection with a cardboard sign that says "will code for food"
I didn’t get an internship in college and now I’m literally fricking dead
Should I transfer to a more prestigious uni than I go to right now thats easier to get an internship, or the best cs uni in my country with trimesters (harder to get internships with higher workload) ?
>uts and unsw
I didn't get an internship while getting my degree and I'm fine.
Pretty much everything you do in your college years only matters to getting your very first job, and then never affects anything again after that.
No shit, but it's getting that first job that's made significantly harder by not having done an internship. How did you get a job with critical thinking skills this poor?
>but it's getting that first job that's made significantly harder
So? It's not like you're going to end up in the streets. You may have to spend more time applying or settle for a slightly lower paying job, but again it's only the first one. You'll spend a year at it and then easily switch jobs and the rest of your life is smooth sailing. It only seems like a big deal while you're a kid looking for that first job. You'll look back on it later and realize it didn't matter much at all.
I got a decent enterprise dev job out of college from an a decent state school. If I could go back, I would have gone for an internship but I was too busy playing vidya and studying. Don't sweat about it, just study the material for the interview and content of work. I wasn't happy with my enterprise dev job, so I spent 3 months studying leetcode and now i'm a SDE I at Amazon. You got this anon
I messed up by doing nothing
I applied for an internship before my junior year and I got it. Really changed my perspective on the tech industry. I wanted to be a cybersecurity gay and I was planning on getting all kinds of certs and joining a ctf team. I realized that sec wasnt the field for me so I focused my studies on general cs. I started working on fpga projects and even put some of my stuff on github. I got invited to an internship before my senior year and I learned all about embedded systems development. Now I am a graduate and I make 250k writing tests that run on arm processors. I am 23 and my company wants to keep paying me while I pause my work and get a masters degree. Internships will help you so much anon, I hope my story inspired you to apply for some.
were your projects that impressive that you got such a high tc or do you think it was the internship?
I'm doing my degree online, when's the best time to apply to internships? And are their internships in off times of the year such as in the fall?
>their
I'm not a ruh-tard, I swear.
>when's the best time to apply to internships?
Doesn't matter if you're getting your degree online. All your applications are going straight into the garbage no matter what time you send them.
Every company is different, so there's not necessarily a best time, but generally you can start sometime in the fall (like sep-novemberish), at least for computer science. Bigger companies will often start recruiting earlier, especially with career fairs and stuff being held in the fall. Pretty much any time after july and before winter is fine to start looking. Internships during school semesters definitely do exist but I don't have personal experience with those so I can't really tell you where to look for those besides just the normal places.
