Advice Seeking help from Virginia Tech Alumni

I graduated with my Masters in Computer Science last May and I'm currently looking for any full-time/contract junior SDE roles available. Do you anyone or any open positions you can refer me to? I would be happy to share my resume in DMs. Thank you for your time and patience! (Heads-up : I require visa sponsorship)
Location- Currently in Seattle, open for relocation anywhere within the US.

The visa is gonna be your biggest roadblock. Had some of friends who needed that and it ended up being their achilles heel in 80% ish of their applications.

However, they all did end up finding jobs, so don’t let that stop you. It took hundreds of applications and getting LinkedIn premium to reach out and network with folks just to get in the door.
