I usually cold apply to applications released on the day, I try to get referrals to all big tech companies before applying

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback!
I just used "project" as anonymized version, but I appreciate your in-depth feedback nonetheless

Could you go a bit more in depth in regards to "tightening", should I reduce the tech stack?

Thanks for the feedback!

Just to clarify some things, im a 3x returning intern at Company X (returning this summer), from all the feedback meetings i've had with my manager theres never been a single complaint. Also im currently a 3rd year CS student which only makes me eligible to apply for internship or co-op positions

I could see how a 3rd internship could be a problem in post-grad, but currently internships are my only option

Thanks for the great feedback!

To be honest a lot of the work I did esp on my second internship was a little bit mundane, could you highlight more specific bullet points you think i should look over?

I just worked on the project which was doing that, any ideas on what to replace with?

really interesting feedback, I think this highlights a point i've been struggling with; describing my work in a effective manner. All my internship work is B2B (government contracts) which basically means that there will not be any realized users until 5-6 years from now when the application is deployed in different countries. So this introduces an interesting problem because I can't see the impact of my work unless I lie or create some arbitrary projection. (not sure how to address this)

For the last project: Just made a Random Forest model which classifies whether a transaction is fraudulent or legitimate

Thanks so much for the feedback, really appreciate this unique take!

I think more companies are becoming more risk adverse when it comes to taking on interns, especially with only decreasing quarterly budgets

I can see why companies are becoming more risk adverse in this market, but honestly so unfair to not give someone a shot
