No Experience or Projects as an International Graduate Student: How Do I Prepare to Break into the Industry in My Final Semester? /u/vapanrumak CSCQ protests reddit

Hello everyone, I’m an international student in my final semester of a Master’s program in Computer Science. Unfortunately, I don’t have much experience—I’ve only done a software internship during my undergrad but didn’t learn much from it. I haven’t worked on significant projects and don’t have strong problem-solving skills.

To be honest, I’ve forgotten most of my basic coding knowledge, and I feel like I’ve messed up due to procrastination and lack of effort. However, I want to give it my best shot and start improving now. With no solid projects or internships on my resume, I’m wondering what steps I should take to secure a good job by the end of my semester. Any advice or suggestions on how to move forward would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
