CS Grad looking for referrals/advice at Apple, Google, MSFT, Tesla

Hi folks! I’ve been actively looking for referrals at the above mentioned companies. It appears there are scarce opportunities at #apple for Grads (in OS, Platform, Services), unless you’ve had an internship (which are in abundance relative to Grad places). Similarly goes for #google in Europe. As with #microsoft , there are some places but most of them have tight deadlines that have passed. And even with them, I don’t think I would qualify as I was graduated in Sept 2021, although I just started looking. #tesla is also on my list for Grad places, but I could only find positions for Seniors. Does anyone know why the Grad places are so scarce? It feels mighty impossible to get an interview, and then everything is so much pressure to make it to the next stage… Do you think they would accept internships if you are a Grad? Either way, I’m looking for #referral s if anyone is willing to help. Regardless of your location. Any help is much appreciated! 🙏 If you can’t give referrals but willing to give some advice, I could do with that, so please let me know and I will get in touch via DM.
