Just graduated from Georgia Tech with Masters in CS with gpa 3.90. Looking for software engineering positions. None of the big N returned to my applications except Amazon. Do I really need to get referrals in order to get at least an interview from them? Need NO visa sponsorships. Thank you
If you don't need visa, it'd be stupid to join a sweatshop like the Amazon slave labor camp.
Thanks for honesty. I don’t need a visa but they are the only one who returned quickly and gave me an interview. Seems like I got stuck :(
why is amazon a sweatshop? or say, how is another fang level company significantly different from amazon?
You should've applied last year, if you graduated this year. All new grad positions will be full by now. But you seem to be a US citizen, so do whatever you want. It's a free country.
Thank you. I was told if I apply 1-2 month prior to graduation would be fine. I did apply all big N in March, have a resume with good projects. I dont know what’s wrong. I will be citizen next week, at the moment I don’t know what else I can do. All other companies seem not hiring any new grad.
Get a job somewhere. Anywhere. Even if it pays 70k. Don't be unemployed. Looks bad. Then switch in 6 months to a year.
