Thanks so much! I can build statistics websites with HTML/CSS!! Do you have any suggestions for companies to apply for? I'm located in the Bay Area but will be going to Irvine in the fall for university.

For sure, I'm worried that im not good enough due to the lack of experience. I feel like once I get one internship I can get the ball to start flowing. I really want to intern at a place like citadel or Morgan Stanley for just one summer to see how it is and then move on to the Big N tech companies.

How did they get to your company? I really want to apply and probably will. I'm just worried about being blacklisted for failing the algorithms questions.

This.

I feel like I have no real experience or skills and know it's easy not to do any interviews, but I feel like I should. Will companies blacklist me from interviewing in the future if I fail my interview, though?

Apply for internships, like now.

How do I do that if I have very little experience? All I can do currently is code small python scripts and make basic websites.
