Guys… getting a job as a new grad was so difficult. I documented my new grad job hunt process for software engineering, and I’m here to share it with you! This was definitely one of the most humbling experiences ever :’). If you’re a new grad watching this, know that I believe in you!!! You’ll get there, I promise. Just stick with it.
Some helpful resources during my recruitment process:
– The Github New Grad Repo which lists a bunch of new grad SWE/Quant/PM roles (I’m linking the 2024 one) https://github.com/ReaVNaiL/New-Grad-2024
– The Grace Hopper Celebration which is the largest women in tech conference. If you’re a student, your school will most likely fund your trip! https://ghc.anitab.org/
– CodePath which is a non-profit organization that teaches FREE courses to current university students. I took their advanced technical interview prep one! There’s also a career fair in October that matches you with potential employers. This is one of the best resources I used!!! https://www.codepath.org/
– Leetcode which is a bank of coding questions similar to those asked during your technical interviews. https://leetcode.com/
– Neetcode which provides some structure and amazing explanations for your Leetcode journey. This was very helpful!! https://neetcode.io/
– Don’t be afraid to cold message/email recruiters! Really put yourself out there – you never know what could happen!
– And, this is gonna sound cheesy, but don’t forget to believe in yourself. You’re smart, and you’re good at what you do. Never forget that – even when the process is absolutely terrible!
p.s. if you saw that i put the wrong time at the end, no you didn’t🙈
