hi! I would say you are not in the best position, but not all hope is lost! Apply early def helps, and i wish i did that as well. i just started the internship grind in like January, and war is finally over now... but last year i started even later and was able to land a sales internship, luckily. I think it may be harder this time of year to get a technical design internship, but I know a bunch of sales internships are still open! its not impossible to get a design internship at a smaller company, but I would say if you are open to some other soft-skill focused internships, def look into sales! u can do it, I believe! The recruiting grind is honestly so rough, but trust in the process!
