Hey guys, I am currently an upcoming new grad in comp sci reaching out in hopes of getting referrals, currently have one internship under my belt and a frontend and backend tech stack but eager to learn. I would love to be involved with a welcoming company hopefully based off of NYC (currently located) but I am not picky about location at all. If anyone has any advice for new grads pls let me know, more than happy to chat also. I feel very bad asking for a sort of handout like this however I dont have many connections going for me so I hope to really branch out and connect with this post. Graduating this spring, 3.8 GPA, worked for an e-commerce company and grinding leetcode like its my day job. #adobe #affirm #airbnb #airtable #amazon #aws #apple #atlassian #asana #audible #aurora #argoai #benchling #blackrock #bloomberg #block #brex #box #cloudera #cloudflare #coda #coinbase #chime #citadel #chase #calendly #coursera #cruise #databricks #datadog #digitalocean #doordash #discord #docusign #duolingo #dropbox #epicgames #ebay #expedia #facebook #faang #faangmula #figma #github #gitlab #grammarly #groupon #grubhub #google #goldmansachs #headspace #indeed #instacart #intuit #janestreet #jpmorgan #lattice #linkedin #lyft #meta #microsoft #miro #mongodb #morganstanley #netflix #netlify #notion #nvidia #nuro #opendoor #oracle #palantir #paloaltonetworks #patreon #paypal #peloton #pinterest #plaid #qualcomm #quora #ramp #razorpay #reddit #ripple #rippling #roblox #robinhood #roku #salesforce #slack #shopify #spotify #sofi #snowflake #snap #snapchat #square #squarespace #stripe #sonos #stackoverflow #tableau #tesla #tinder #tiktok #twitter #twilio #twitch #samsara #twosigma #uber #visa #vmware #waymo #wework #yelp #zillow #zoom #referral

“If anyone has any advice for new grads pls let me know, more than happy to chat also.” After your first job, GPA won’t matter neither will your course load. Just getting that job is going to matter so much. Pick up a couple of good languages as a CS. Java and Python for starters. Everything else is just syntax and unless you’re dealing with low level bit-shifts, no one is really gonna care. The hard part really is getting in. Don’t stress too much about being unable to land the NVDA or MSFT interview, even seasoned employees from other companies don’t get there the first time either. Location matters a lot. NYC, Seattle and even SF are on the crap list for some companies. So be willing to head to Texas or NC. If you can get to those other three locations, even at a lower level job, take it. It’s like real estate, location-location-location. Save yourself some skin, grab GitHub copilot and then figure out if ML/LLM is up your alley. DevOps (or DevSecOps) are good to know, as is cloud based deployments including terraform. But that is putting the cart before the horse. You’re gonna fail, miss and just chalk it up to experience. Like coding and failing to compile - you read the error and try again. If you have to choose, a smaller company where you get to play in the full stack will be much more rewarding than a large company where you get tasked with immigrating from COBOL to Java. Enjoy the ride!
One of the best advice 🥳
Hey! Sorry, for some reason I didn’t get a notification for this, so I am just seeing it, but thanks so much for your advice. I’ll definitely snoop around and see what’s up my alley. Right now I’m thinking about pushing back my graduation date by a semester so I can squeeze another summer internship in. My current resume isn’t the best and especially with the bad market and everything, and even my own confidence level being very low in landing a new grad role, I think it’s best for me to just try again next year when I am more prepared, with hopefully another internship on my resume to boost it up, along with genuine experience in the field. Of course I’ll still be applying to both new grad and intern positions but definitely leaning towards the summer internship. My current Experience so far has just been in a small start up with a employee count of less than 10 members, e-commerce web app development. I really am not chasing the money or anything right now, fortunately I am grateful for my parents for allowing me to stay with them a little while longer until I figure out what I want to do with my graduation date. I really do enjoy what I do, and I know I’ll enjoy it even more with a proper team and infrastructure that comes with a genuine internship, so hopefully things go well and I land one for this summer. I will definitely keep everything you said in mind. Thanks you so much!
