Best Time to apply for new grad/SDE 1 roles?

Targeting - Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, LinkedIn, Twitter, Uber, Square, Lyft. Still eligible for new grad roles but will also apply SDE 1 roles. What's the good time to start application process? Referrals would be good or just apply online for these positions? Current LC count - 240 Also, having a current job for close to year increases chances for New grad positions? Current TC - 180k (includes around 30k paper money) YOE: Less than 1

What school you from and how much work experience do you have right now ?

I am full time with Credit Karma. Graduated last December and all companies I listed allow to apply for new grad position within 1 year graduation so trying to leverage that. Besides, I also have a summer internship experience. With Credit Karma FT since December

With referral or just online would do? Having referrals for junior positions matter?

So what school you're from ? New grad roles heavily depend on the school as well

That makes me identifiable. But let's say top 25. In line with UCLA level

I at least need to get one offer to make myself feel good if I can't crack those other big fish 😜 Square is just a morale booster
