How screwed am I if I was unable to land intern experience in uni?
Started out a CS major inclined towards data science, and have been applying to many data analyst, data scientist, and data engineer internships. Just finished my junior year without really getting far though, despite some painstakingly close calls in landing interviews.
The interview process seems slightly less competitive than SWE, though that could just be because of the size of the companies that offered interviews. But again, sadly I was unable to pass any.
Anyways, I'm heading into my senior year with very little experience to show. I genuinely believe I could definitely qualify for some intern roles if only I had my current resume a year ago, but I'm a rising senior.
I'm concerned the new grad market is going to be less forgiving.
