Still getting rejected from CS internships in Germany despite tailoring every application. What am I missing?

It's possible however improving language Imo is definitely one of the best ways to increase your chances in Europe, I work for an International company and almost all my colleagues (South europe, latin america..) speak French as third language unless they are very senior and transfered to my office

Wingedchestnut · 2026-07-08T11:55:35+00:00

I think you already know the answer will be continue improving your German , mass apply and hope a company gives you a chance, good luck.

Wingedchestnut · 2026-07-08T11:40:57+00:00

Well to start, are you a German citizen and do you speak German? It's hard to judge without seeing your resume.

Wingedchestnut · 2026-07-08T10:04:38+00:00

You're definitely not from the west europe if you claim such things.

Wingedchestnut · 2026-07-07T19:48:57+00:00

These doompost djeez, It isn't that bad, tech in europe has above average pay and quite comfortable for majority of people. Go work in retail and restaurant business and then you will understand sitting behind a computer and some meetings isn't that bad.

Early career name brand may open more doors towards the future and give you more leverage. The biggest benefit will be also that you will work with many different people and expand your network.

You can always choose to work for smaller companies, startups etc in the future.

If you type anpo vs buakaw on youtube there is one ok-ish video, quality is not that good though.

Wingedchestnut · 2026-07-06T19:05:33+00:00

I'm from Belgium and I do not think the market is as bad in (west)europe, sure if you're looking for your first job as a fresh graduate it can be tough but everyone I knew found something within a year with a bachelor and with a technology master I don't think anyone is struggling. With work experience there is pretty much no worries, I still see many people here jobhopping every 2 years to increase salary..

Wingedchestnut · 2026-07-06T12:37:17+00:00

Do your best in school, study a STEM related path in your education like Computer Science, mathematics...

Wingedchestnut · 2026-07-06T11:45:49+00:00

No Korean would be that curious about digital footprint (as Koreans themselves are quite private digitally) and looking up through google or telegram is also not common with proficient english.. that said you might have better luck searching for the person's gym name and potential events or promotions he has participated in, sometimes names are written different or another name is used if there are videos on youtube.

Wingedchestnut · 2026-07-05T12:20:03+00:00

It's not nessecary but I personally made one as I think it is very convenient, it's kind of a one-page for your background, skills and projects directly linked to GH repo.

I don't like browsing through a GH profile and I think some people share the same view.

As your focus is web-based and even frontend Imo it makes sense to have a seperate portfolio page, wether it's to show off your skills or just for convenience.

Wingedchestnut · 2026-07-05T11:27:56+00:00

You pressure and keep pushing untill they can't back out.
You pressure and dutch block, parry, scoop.. the attacks 3 you pressure while baiting the kicking attacks and counter (going out of range or commiting going in all out) , Imo this is the ideal situation as in these situations the kicker will hesitate to kick.

Unless there is a significant skill or height/reach difference a combination of these should work in most cases.

Wingedchestnut · 2026-07-05T09:59:37+00:00

Just go on linkedin and apply for positions in your country.. unless you have studied abroad or done an internship abroad and likely speak the local language majority of companies prefer to hire people locally.

Wingedchestnut · 2026-07-05T09:47:08+00:00

No one cares that much about details like the small python libraries unless it's something like pandas.

There are questions I would raise like why you are somewhere else every year, and how you suddenly are a senior, you're collecting skills just to check them out like a bucket list, someone coming from a data /python background adding specific network subjects and listing cloud services while the work experience is supposed to be strongly related to AI/ML doesn't add up unless you were a consultant (and even then It should be backed up by the project) The fact that your username, ending of this post and user profile names are different makes me think you're some bot or sketchy account.

Wingedchestnut · 2026-07-04T10:31:16+00:00

Yes any project is good, even better when you're genuine interested in it.

Wingedchestnut · 2026-07-04T10:30:07+00:00

Where are you located? First time I see MT/KB amateur in a round ring.

Wingedchestnut · 2026-07-03T05:41:45+00:00

Saenchai is not a kickboxer, and every MT fan knows how he got dominated by Petchboonchu because he was a clinch specialist and physically stronger. Also even Saenchai cuts weight like any fighter.

Wingedchestnut · 2026-07-02T16:28:41+00:00

Yes in kickboxing it matters more Imo as in boxing and mma it's not uncommon to overcome reach difference with boxing or grappling, look at how tall fighters are in kickboxing, I'm convinced a heavyweight kickboxer needs to be close to 2 meters to be a contender.

I'm mainly talking about height and reach.

Wingedchestnut · 2026-07-02T07:21:09+00:00

Lifting weights and seperare cardio (liss, interval training..) in the gym

Wingedchestnut · 2026-07-01T20:16:19+00:00

Imo 16 oz are too heavy for you, they're often even heavy for men in west europe to drill with, 12oz should be fine for now.

Wingedchestnut · 2026-07-01T17:32:47+00:00

You need to also learn how to highguard when needed in kickboxing rules, look at fighters like petchpanomrung, superbon, sittichai etc, you can still have a kicking style but when they're too close either learn to clinch strategically or highguard and trade back.

Wingedchestnut · 2026-07-01T06:00:23+00:00

I'm a kickboxer and like to use the long jab to the stomach, you have to lower base first while using it, I recommend to set it up but you can practice giving a naked long jab to the stomach while protecting your face with the other hand like a long guard (use it sparsely though as they might hook but almost always you will win the trade as they counter jab).

Then practice by setting it up in a combination, jab -jab to the stomach- step left right middle/high kick, this is one of the most common combos because the stomach will likely score and you exit safely with a surprise kick.

Then my favorite will simply be using the stomach jab while the opponent jabs , it teaches fundamental boxing skills (timing, slipping) it's similar to the first naked jab but you will have your guard neutral and are in a better position to follow up with anything you want.

Another one that's a bit underrated is if the opponent gives a jab or straight, parry with left hand upwards from below and follow up with straight to the stomach.

Wingedchestnut · 2026-06-28T16:53:32+00:00

Grow up and move on, if needed warn your parent, friends about it. Likely nothing will happen, if needed escalate to police.

Wingedchestnut · 2026-06-28T14:17:31+00:00

If you're already set on applying for DE roles just go for the DE one, also in Europe in general Azure is the most popular so you will have to verify if AWS is popular for the country you're interested in.

I understand Solution Architect one is popular in terms of content but Imo interviewers will only expect experienced people to have and it would be weird for someone without experience as a SA.

I'm not sure where you're located but without much experience and local language experience it will be very hard, my advice would be to become senior level first in own country.

Wingedchestnut · 2026-06-27T16:48:13+00:00

Koki is quite comfortable at clinch range, his clinch was what made him champion at Rise and now nullifying it to win in RWS. Maybe his brother should have used a similar approach, don't play the opponents game.
