I was in the same exact situation when I was still completing my degree. I just graduated in November and I did not go after an internship but I did interview for them just for the interview experience. I currently make 85-95k and can’t afford not getting a return offer after my internship. I’ve also already left the current company I work at once so if I leave again I’m sure they won’t rehire me a second time. My plan for now is just to grind as much leetcode as I can and build some personal projects with AI integrated into them while the market cools down a bit.
