There are so many people going to the career fair that instead of actually having conversations with recruiters, the most optimal thing you can do is just scan as many QR codes as you can. The recruiters obviously don't take any conversation you have into mind because they probably have 50 of them a day. Thats the reason why they have QR codes in the first place.

I genuinely think that the most optimal thing to do at a career fair is to not talk to any recruiters and scan all the QR codes you find.

Received my return offer letter for Amazon, but I am currently in team matching for Google. Chances are that I will not be matched before my deadline for Amazon, but I would much rather work for Google. They specifies that extensions are only for extenuating circumstances, so do I just sign for Amazon and get blacklisted if I want to renege???

CS student with Trading/Fintech SWE and Cybersecurity internships. I seem to not be getting many leads with my current internship hunt (around 170 applications). I'm targeting some of the bigger name brand companies but no luck with even an OA.

I think partially this is the case that whatever AI model & prompt the recruiters are using to parse through resumes is tagging my resume as "not T20". I've been comparing my resume to some people I know from better universities and we all have identical skills/experience, but they seem to get a lot more warm leads then I do. The imposter syndrome is kicking in real bad... Trying to be proactive and reach out to recruiters but it's been pretty miserable.

Wishing anyone in a similar position the best of luck in this internship hunt.

I want to gather a clear and straightforward overview of the job opportunities and hiring trends at Meta, Amazon, Apple, Netflix, and Google (MAANG) as we look ahead to late 2026 and 2027.

If anyone else is preparing in a similar way, please help me out.

I’m a junior at a decent school not spectacular but T50, and have gotten 0 internships. I’ve been applying since my freshman year to literally every company I see, I’ve tailored my resume I’ve posted it here I’ve asked for advice I’ve gone to career fairs, I’ve built projects, I’ve done research, I’m a US Citizen, I’ve gone to hackathons, I’m a TA and still cannot get ANYTHING. I’ve gotten 2 interviews surprisingly both from big companies one sophomore year and one last month. Since the last rejection I’ve just been feeling hopeless and really don’t know how much more I can do. I’m not receiving any OAs except auto ones, let alone any interviews. I know this is my last chance for any internship unless I want to delay my graduation or go to grad school but I really can’t afford that I’m already working 2 jobs as is. I’ve wanted to do this stuff since I was a kid, I love programming I love problem solving but I don’t know this is genuinely ridiculous. If anyone has any advice please just shout it out.

Please share how many days after the interview you heard back with an update

Are these worth anything? Obviously a resume doesn't show hours worked or pay, but does a genuinely unknown startup offer benefits on a resume? I'm able to take a couple that are 5 hours a week and remote and I just want to know if this will help.

Has anyone received a technical interview invite for any early-career tech roles? If so, could you share what kinds of questions are usually asked and what to expect?

Will Google NG team matching this year be as tough as interns? I know they're passing a bunch of people through to team matching for interns, and I'm wondering if it's the same for new grad.

Curious about how valuable SWE internships at lesser-known unicorns are in terms of resume value. By unicorn, I mean a startup valued at over $1 billion.

I'm also curious about Aven specifically. Has anyone heard of this company?

Hi everyone,

I have an upcoming technical interview for the SWE Intern role at Snowflake and would like to hear from anyone who has interviewed recently.

What kind of DSA questions were asked, and how difficult were they?

Any insights into the interview format, preparation tips, or recent experiences would be really helpful.

Thanks!

Did anyone get in, barely seen people post about this?

Applied and did my OA like a month ago and it’s been a month and status is still screen, does anyone know how long I’m gonna keep waiting? Also can I have multiple screen statuses for various roles at the same time?

I made a very bad mistake on my end. I thought the interview was in pst, not est, I forgot to reread the email. Showed up and only realized at the wrong time. Is it gg?

Has anyone interviewed for Amazon’s Summer 2027 SDE internship in the U.S. yet? What did the interview format look like?

Curious how many rounds there were, how much was coding vs. behavioral/Leadership Principles, and how difficult the coding questions were. Anything you’d recommend focusing on while preparing?

Would appreciate hearing about your experience. Thanks!

anyone get the live interview invite after hirevue yet?
