This will probably be a long shot, but anyone here works at JPMorgan? I’m just curious to know if Java really is the most used language there?

Do you think I’ll here back from more internship opportunities in january? /u/CatCow_1 CSCQ protests reddit

Hello, im a rising senior who has been looking for software engineering internships for the past 3 months. I’ve gotten two phone screenings that ended in rejection and one official interview that I’m still waiting on the results from. I’ve applied to close to 250 internship positions and have gotten rejected from several of them, but have not heard back from most of them. Do you think companies will start looking at applications starting in January science most people are off the holidays?

Navigating Down-leveled Rainforest Offer Uncertainty /u/hyshusky CSCQ protests reddit

Navigating Down-leveled Rainforest Offer Uncertainty /u/hyshusky CSCQ protests reddit

Hi,

Interviewed back in late summer for an L5 position. Did really well on LP and most of the technical rounds, but had a bad performance on systems design and was verbally offered a down-leveled L4 offer.

After some back and forth, it turned out that it was no longer a possibility to fill a L4 spot as an industry hire.

I was recently was contacted by my original recruiter saying getting an official offer is now possible if the hiring manager is ok with filling an L5 position with a strong L4.

My issue now is that I’m solidly locked in to staying in Boston and it seems that most of these opportunities are in Seattle.

A bit unsure on what to do at this point. Since the recruiter contacted me I have been trying to check in every couple weeks or so to hear if they’ve found an interested hiring manager. I’m not sure if they normally recruit for the Boston office and I’m sure he has other positions he’s trying to fill that may be higher priority than my situation. Do I try to contact other recruiters/hiring managers specifically in Boston through LinkedIn? The offer should be good through the summer so there is some time and I don’t want to come off as pushy, but I’m still very interested and excited to work there and I don’t want to waste this opportunity.

Would appreciate any thoughts/advice! This is my first time dealing with a big tech company so maybe this is all standard and I just have to be patient?

Thanks!

4th year CS PhD student, a couple publications and a patent, applying for internships feels like a waste of time /u/qscgy_ CSCQ protests reddit

4th year CS PhD student, a couple publications and a patent, applying for internships feels like a waste of time /u/qscgy_ CSCQ protests reddit

Title is the summary. I have 2 first-author publications from undergrad, another from last year, a patent, a couple of second-author pubs (one in ECCV), and no experience outside academia except some volunteer stuff that could be risky to talk about, depending on the recruiter’s political views. Last year I somehow got interviews for internships at 3 FAANG-tier companies, but none went anywhere. So it’s internship application season again, and I can’t shake the feeling that this is just not a good use of my time and I would be better served trying to find a summer job in some other sector. I’m scheduled to graduate in spring 2026, so this is my last chance at an internship. I know I need to apply to hundreds of positions (I did maybe 80 last time), but if I have to tailor my resume for each one and write a cover letter…even with AI assistance, that just doesn’t seem like the best use of my time, and I could spend it either finding employment elsewhere (always wanted to be a park ranger, for instance) or working on actual projects.

So what’s the move here? Should I spend hundreds of hours more on applications that almost certainly will go nowhere, or forget about an internship and just focus on finishing my doctorate?

For reference, I’m looking for both research and engineering/ops internships. My field of research is 3D reconstruction applied to medical imaging.

I’m a Computer Science student looking to build my portfolio. What could be an interesting project? /u/ZlatanKabuto CSCQ protests reddit

I’m in my final year of undergraduate studies and looking to create projects that showcase my skills. So far I’ve built several websites, some using C# and others with React, Node.js, and Express. I’m particularly fascinated by machine learning and have developed models for image classification, which I’m currently integrating into a website.

I also plan to create some mobile apps and possibly a small video game to demonstrate my versatility to potential employers.

Do you have any other ideas? I was considering developing a chatbot, building a health prediction model (e.g., step count, calorie burn, or heart rate monitoring) using live data from wearable devices, or creating a real-time weather forecasting app.

so it’s basically a full Fledged SWE if used correctly, and I suppose it would be “used correctly” way earlier than my graduation date as I am still a CS freshman, I am working my ass off, compressing courses, taking extracurricullar courses, professional development and EVERY SINGLE DOABLE THING to be able to graduate early to catch any freaking tech related job, and it makes it even harder as a 3rd world country citizen, I am trying, but still the skepticism kills
