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.
Makes sense, I would work on either polishing up and finishing some of the projects you started in the past, or reduce your scale a little bit on what the projects you're doing are trying to accomplish.
You don't even need to make anything new, just having a deployed CRUD app would be much better than nothing to show.
