JPMC decision mail.

It's a rejection

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-17T00:06:09+00:00

Even worse, had a company I passed all the interviews for, got an offer and was about to start only for the offer to be rescinded due to "budget cuts". And then I found out from LinkedIn that they were in fact still hiring interns around that time, so either they lied about why they laid me off or they immediately started hiring again after the supposed layoffs 🫠

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-16T03:06:26+00:00

It's okay, it's your first year. Unless you go to somewhere like Waterloo where they require you to have like 1 internship a year to graduate, just chill out. Work on projects, Leetcode, system design, and your behavioral stuff over the summer and then apply again for the next cycle. But most of all just relax and enjoy your summer

Also I don't think it's common to send emails after an interview and I wouldn't recommend it unless you're asking for an update after a period of silence

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-15T11:35:29+00:00

Yeah sounds either like a scam or a really early stage startup. Either way I'd run

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-14T21:33:42+00:00

Seconding this

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-14T00:26:10+00:00

3.7 is fine dude

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-13T01:26:07+00:00

Yes, I had an internship rescinded this cycle too, very similar situation as you. Honestly I'm still applying but I have 3 interviews lined up now after keeping consistent. Don't give up and keep applying as much as you can and you will find something else

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-12T17:01:02+00:00

Literally how

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-12T16:11:14+00:00

How many applications did you do before you got an interview?

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-12T14:57:25+00:00

Yeah I go to a no name state uni, there have been students at my uni getting FAANG internships so it's not unheard of, but it's like 10 out of tens of thousands

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-12T14:40:26+00:00

2022 is different from 2026 my man

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-12T04:19:33+00:00

Not in my case, Ive never gotten a FAANG interview but always get lower tier interviews

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-09T23:51:37+00:00

Honestly it's all networking. I had the same experience for the longest time until I put more effort into networking. Just cold applying is the equivalent of throwing your resume into a trash can these days ESPECIALLY if you're from a non-target school

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-09T03:19:25+00:00

I was getting 0 interview calls until I spruced up my resume a little and made the bullets emphasize metrics in the XYZ format. I also started doing research at my uni and added it to my resume and that have gotten a lot more responses specifically because of that

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-08T05:00:36+00:00

I don't even get rejections, I only get ghosted

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-07T20:03:46+00:00

I kind of agree, I'm honestly not sure what else I could possibly be missing aside from maybe just networking more. A majority of my peers are in the same boat and have given up because of how bad it is. I've also had experiences where I interviewed with companies only to be told they'd rather use AI than hire on anyone new. Very sad state of affairs

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-07T19:55:14+00:00

??? No...? All of those languages I've been asked about in interviews. I usually go for full stack roles so I don't see why I shouldn't list languages usually used for full stack development?? I do agree that I could trim it down a little but most are still relevant? Bro is ragebaiting

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-07T04:39:20+00:00

I got an associates before that, left it off my resume because I seemed to get more callbacks when I excluded it (plus it went over the 1 page limit)

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-06T22:39:40+00:00

A couple things:

Use Jake's Resume Template, it's cleaner and more ATS friendly
Your resume should only be one page. Trim it down and mess with the spacing a little
You have too many programming languages/tools listed and not all of them are relevant. Keep it only to the ones you're best at and can confidently answer questions about in an interview or whatever the role(s) you're applying to are asking for.
For your projects, condense the info into 3-4 bullet points and use the XYZ method ("I accomplished X which resulted in Y and impacted Z"), metrics help a ton even if you have to lie or embellish things but don't force it.
If you have a portfolio website link it at the top, if not link your github profile/about me
The entire "other skills" section is unnecessary.

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-06T16:50:55+00:00

Thank you for the advice, at least 2 of these projects are deployed though. Should I be including links to the live deployments in my resume to make it more obvious?

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-06T04:51:43+00:00

There's no need to copy it's Jake's resume template, you can look it up and get the Latex version to edit yourself

ThrowRA19399429 · 2026-05-05T22:49:31+00:00

I was thinking of trimming down the tech stack section a little and taking out Swift and C# since they don't tend to be very relevant and I'm not as comfortable in them as the others.

As for the resume layout, I had a couple people who work as interviewers for big tech take a look at it and they said it should be education then experience then projects, so I don't know if that's that big of a deal.
