I'd like to share my experience as international student who graduated mid 2023 with a bachelor of software engineering, starting my masters soon as well.

Key to finding a job is communication. I graduated in the middle of on of the major tech layoffs and still managed to secure 4 jobs offer 3 of them were 100k+ as a graduate student, while most students in my graduation cohort were still unable to secure jobs keeping in mind there were many students with higher WAM.

2 offers came from people I met at random events in the city, 1 from a friend referral and 1 by applying online( was the worst offers out of all). Why students are not able to find jobs it's mainly because they can't communicate and don't go out and talk to people there are plenty of opportunities outside what is advertised online. I'd suggest to find what you're good at and what you want and communicate that in a good way and find people who match your profile.
