Do you find applying to small, local companies more fruitful than the large ones? /u/mongustave CSCQ protests reddit

Looking for summer internship after freshman year. I understand it’s kind of late for a lot of big tech companies, but just looking for any paid position that will have me writing lines of code.

On my resume are a few projects: an AWS-hosted ray tracing engine with a C++ backend and React TypeScript frontend, a custom implementation of temporal tables for PostgreSQL written in Go, and an extension written in JavaScript for a school website. Other than that, I have no professional experience in software development, nor experience in any sort of CS-research. (Although I worked as a cashier in high school.)

Do I have a chance of getting some sort of position in NYC (where I’m currently located and looking to stay)? Do you think I could find work? Or would my time be spent more productively looking for small, local companies outside of New York?
