I don’t normally post but I’ve been getting kinda anxious about this as graduation gets closer.

I started seriously looking for jobs in mid-March and have sent out around 25 applications so far with the oldest being a little over 3 weeks old, and the only responses I’ve gotten are what seems like 2 auto rejects I got almost immediately after applying with no other contact otherwise.

My undergraduate was in chemical engineering but I did a master’s in data science bc I wanted to pivot into more-techy jobs. Idk if my lack of a cs undergrad is hurting me a lot or what.

Maybe this is normal and I’ll start hearing back from places soon but I just wanted to hear someone else’s thoughts.

      My longest answer was 14 month (there are plenty non-answers though). Typically in Germany you have the half after 6 month and the other half before. Around 1 in 6 is faster than within the first 6 weeks.
