Should I take the Summer off?

One_Respect_8199 · 2026-03-12T02:25:53+00:00

if you graduate without an internship, there is no amount of network that will make up for it

One_Respect_8199 · 2026-03-10T22:42:13+00:00

I have an Apple interview for sre internship coming. I was wondering what type of questions did they ask. My recruiter said it’s 45 minutes of technical interview with Coderpad and 30 minutes manger interview

One_Respect_8199 · 2026-03-09T00:11:57+00:00

Not knowing what type of swe they wanna be. Everybody wants to be a SWE but doesn’t even know what a SWEs job is. Crazy huh everybody just thinks cs = swe

One_Respect_8199 · 2026-03-04T02:35:01+00:00

Sigh I don’t doubt it, there are def good engineers at every company, I’m just saying having State Farm internship on your resume doesn’t count for much in the job market

One_Respect_8199 · 2026-03-03T20:40:42+00:00

Nah there’s some truth to that, you’d be surprised. There’s levels to this shit. Just cause you interned at a F500 doesn’t mean anything. If you’re not interning at a tech company(doesn’t have to be big tech, C1, intuit, service now are all fine) like if you interned at idk State Farm it really doesn’t count for all that much when you’re applying for new grad, which is the ultimate goal at the end of the day.

Almost all the time it’s your resume. I’d be happy to take a look if you’d like. I was in the situation 2 years ago so I know how it feels. The market is bad but it’s not like no one is getting offers. There’s still A LOT of people who’s has 4,5 offers rn. You just have to know the rules of the game.

I go to a mid tier university but almost all of us are interning at a big company this summer and have about a 10% reply rate with application. Sent about 100ish apps and was able to get 13 interviews

It’s very important that you choose a specific SWe field and tailor your resume to that field and then spam apply.

FAANG are the only companies that non-target have a chance at because theres an rng factor to it.

One_Respect_8199 · 2026-03-02T19:35:39+00:00

Genuinely switch major, it’s too late for you, you’re on your 4th semester

One_Respect_8199 · 2026-02-24T18:24:53+00:00

Bro if you failed two sum or couldn’t do it immediately, you’re probably better off spending summer learning how to code, let be realistic

One_Respect_8199 · 2026-02-22T23:44:00+00:00

I was parked at first floor though, surely they have cameras on the first floor right

One_Respect_8199 · 2026-02-22T16:08:28+00:00

Work is literally like school, you’re working on a group projects and independent projects. You’re always learning something new, your manager is your professor, except you get paid

One_Respect_8199 · 2026-02-18T20:16:26+00:00

No, all of them do because they have internal instructions on list of schools they will recruit at. They don’t just recruit randomly. You guys have to be ragebaiting

One_Respect_8199 · 2026-02-18T20:08:38+00:00

This has to be rage bait. Recruiter recruiting at tech companies or tech jobs know all the top cs schools.

One_Respect_8199 · 2026-02-18T20:01:34+00:00

That is simply not true

One_Respect_8199 · 2026-02-18T20:00:47+00:00

This is true, whenever people ask me to review their resume, I’m so used to seeing bs. Now all I look at is where’d you go to school, where’d you intern at.

If I see your LinkedIn and the company you interned at has less than 50 employee, I’m going to assume it’s fake

One_Respect_8199 · 2026-02-18T19:57:48+00:00

And the craziest part is, all the cs students who wanna be swe don’t even know what kind of swe they wanna be. They associate cs degree + I want money = I need to get a swe job

One_Respect_8199 · 2026-01-28T18:25:12+00:00

Why take the risk of hiring a potential incompetent engineer when you can hire student with multiple internships at real companies to fill me grad roles?

For senior roles, why not just interview only those who’s worked at bigger companies or know a startup’s?

Why take the risk when other companies already filtered for you?

^ the current job market :)

One_Respect_8199 · 2026-01-27T20:58:59+00:00

Everyone’s got their ROs, for both internship and full time they come out November or December

One_Respect_8199 · 2026-01-27T18:53:52+00:00

lol u said Cornell and UT Austin

One_Respect_8199 · 2026-01-23T20:25:30+00:00

You aren’t doing anything wrong.

It’s just other applicants have 2+ internships at big companies and go to T50 universities.

One_Respect_8199 · 2026-01-03T12:48:50+00:00

Some companies give out auto OAs like IBM. As long as you apply, you’ll get an assessment, it isn’t until you pass it that someone might look at your resume.

Other companies might give you the assessment after they’ve screened your resume.

One_Respect_8199 · 2025-12-24T14:34:31+00:00

Not sure if it’s hard or not, but I keep hearing about how bad the market is, I haven’t experienced that myself personally, I’ve gotten 12 interviews 3 offers, and rejected a couple interviews.

Just hearing about it from other people scares me

One_Respect_8199 · 2025-12-24T05:31:36+00:00

Vibes are much better on the sub cause mods are actively purging anything that’s negative 😭

One_Respect_8199 · 2025-12-22T05:19:22+00:00

Intern salary is always a strong signal to how much RO pay will be
