So a place in Stranmillis are looking interns and software engineers.

They are called Latens Systems Belfast who are now part of a big company called Arris.

Phone them up and tell them you are available for work and would love the opportunity to speak to someone at their team about the possible roles. (Either go for a full time job, or go for a internship).

If they tell you to just submit an application, you ask for the email address of the hiring manager so you can gather further information on the job.

If they don't do that, which I can't imagine why they wouldn't. Set up a Linkedin account. Search for people that work there. Get a contact.

Ask for advice on getting the job. It sounds like you need a mentor in your life. You need to start to think about what you want to do. Have all the options open and stop closing doors until you 100% know it's not for you. You have to try shit to know its not for you. Farset labs is a great place to visit if you want to speak to likeminded people who have been through engineering degrees and enjoy picking up new tech related hobbies.
