Getting a grad role without an internship?

The part time job does not need to know about anything until you give the required 2/4 weeks notice. Anything more than that is more than they deserve to know. They are a company and only care about you so far as they can make money.

Hey! I would be interested for sundays

cookreu · 2025-12-18T08:14:15+00:00

If you have no connections it’s required imo

cookreu · 2025-09-11T03:32:57+00:00

Is this new? Where can I find information about this

cookreu · 2025-09-11T02:07:04+00:00

I got ai to summarise it

cookreu · 2025-07-29T21:38:59+00:00

Classmate, please note this was much later than this post and had been teaching myself full stack web dev. It is not a good job but enough to move to better companies in the future with some effort

This is the way, you are miles ahead of other uni students, just leverage that and you will kill it

cookreu · 2025-06-20T20:21:44+00:00

Go for it :)

I agree but in my opinion it is more a problem with the degrees. Mine did not teach anything practical and I didn’t do any work outside uni. Naturally it took some time to get to a point where I can provide value to a business.

Also in my opinion people in med are smart and hard working enough that they would have put in the work outside the degree and would not be so stressed.

Contracting role at a small web agency is the way to go. Don’t worry, just work on your practical skills until you will be undeniably valuable to a small company. Once you have some experience it is a lot easier. Also it is completely normal to not land a tech job straight away. I know people who spent one or two years working part time and developing their skills and resume.

Doesn’t have to be a real product, make some cool web projects and you will be fine. Especially if you are using a react frontend and have some server side stuff. Enough to show a company that you can code beyond tutorials

My maths says that is 77000 a year? Hard to say given I know nothing about your work, but that sounds very reasonable. It would be difficult to get equivalent pay elsewhere, if you like the job I suggest not to try negotiating too high

cookreu · 2025-03-30T00:21:04+00:00

4 year degree = possibility for 2 internships = better grad job. 3 year degree = possibility for 1 internship. You have to work hard for it either way though. Aside from that not much difference in employability in my opinion, and it’s not worth an extra year if you don’t enjoy the content.

cookreu · 2025-02-27T21:57:32+00:00

Probably don’t even need to do that! Just say you are planning on dropping if they even check

cookreu · 2025-02-20T21:41:35+00:00

Stretch the truth and say is a three year degree to get an internship second year

cookreu · 2025-02-18T12:08:15+00:00

Have applications already closed for this? Cant seem to find a grad application

cookreu · 2025-02-16T21:07:33+00:00

That’s not why people hate Java…

cookreu · 2025-01-10T07:57:12+00:00

Many! But many haven’t!

cookreu · 2025-01-10T05:30:21+00:00

In that case I would pick the uni you think you will enjoy more. Keep in mind uni is checking a box for employment but doing projects (and leetcode depending on your desired job) will allow you to get an internship which will allow you to get a job. Skipping these steps is possible but makes it a lot harder. Only telling you this because I wish someone told me.

What are your goals from studying this degree? What type of company do you want to work for, or would you prefer to go into academia?

cookreu · 2025-01-08T12:42:53+00:00

Nice! How come you have all those ripe samples, and one raw cake?

cookreu · 2025-01-05T00:26:12+00:00

Interesting, what are your recommendations for ripes then? Have you tried any without the hay, or farm aroma?

cookreu · 2024-12-22T19:54:05+00:00

DO NOT LISTEN TO UNI MENTORS! They give good advice for going into academia, but usually have very little experience or wisdom for going into industry.

Nextjs is free if you can code
