This video is SO good!!!! 100% accurate to my experience and so many valuable tidbits that would’ve been great to know as a student 🥺

[@Koato]

These videos are awesome, I wish I had them a couple years ago... for us in the non-ivy schools the prospect of getting recruited is like a mirage

[@luiscarloscruzcastillo3192]

I'm really nervous about getting my first job after college, but these videos have helped to understand how that process works, thank you so much Mayuko

[@axis2010]

If you have a Computer Science degree from an accredited university, decent GPA, and internship experience, you have nothing to worry about. If you're not a super-star coder, you may not land a job at a FAANG company right away, but you're essentially guaranteed a job at a "normal" company. If you don't have intern experience, you should work on some interesting side projects and put them on your GitHub.

This was awesome! Thank you for sharing Mayuko!

[@anon343]

I have a degree in business management and took networking and cybersecurity certs straight out of uni, as well as uploading code to github. And I've only worked tech jobs. Landing the first job is always the hardest.

[@BryanGarcia-xc4re]

Great Video!

[@suhdongbin8248]

Just getting an internship is already so hard.

[@avancons1]

I'm turning 30 next year and never had tech experience but always wanted to get into the field. Is it possible for me to do certification courses and get a job even without a diploma or degree?

[@NextDoorChannel]

The tech industry always mention a script on their job offering page “equal opportunity/affirmative Action Employer/Gender Identity,etc” but the fact is that they only sort candidates from IVY league. This is contradiction and giving false hope to others who doesn’t have an opportunity to pursue their academic grades… Hmm… :(

[@luisgonzalez-qw7bp]

Welp

[@minismalls3096]

they only put that for legal purposes they don't actually believe in it. just like when they say things like "we believe in work life balance!" which is bullshit

[@cpculture4641]

That’s actually incorrect..the only reason they put that there is because they want to sort out whose actually confident to apply..tech is growing so fast that collages are offering boot camps that have equal weight to a 4 year degree..it’s less time involved and pretty affordable.

[@excodot6069]

Thanks for this interview, Mayuko. My question is "why are still there more tech jobless grads when there also more tech positions advertised"?

[@carlsanc3880]

Because most grads are unhireable and have zero knowledge that can be applicable to real life scenarios. Imagine it’s your personal business, and you have limited money, need to get things done and done well, who do you hire? A kid that just got out of college or a seasoned engineer that knows how to build actual real life applications/tools?

[@minismalls3096]

@@carlsanc3880 if you have limited money how can you possibly afford a seasoned engineer? they are very expensive. this is why so many positions go unfilled, because companies want the best for the cheapest price. the fresh grad receives entry level pay, and has the time and tools to learn. nobody is being given a chance and that's why there's such a huge gap

[@TerryOnVinyl]

I just graduated from Georgia State with my CS degree, getting 2+ rejection emails a day at this point. I forgot to get 4+ years experience working as a software engineer while getting my degree and it's really setting me back LOL

[@gooddevil1234]

I'm wondering if you can get a full-time job with an online cs master's degree.

[@alexavinagre470]

I love you Mayuko!!!!

[@St.Arthur]

SO, should i go through college or go to a highly rated bootcamp? pls help 😢

daily uploads! :)

[@santiagorendon5798]

I’m kind of confused of when she was talking about when to start applying like what dates did she mean? Also why did she say graduating in December is bad?

[@axis2010]

Generally speaking, most college students in the US graduate in the Spring (May). For these students, they should apply in the Fall prior to graduation. They would start their new job in the summer (June - Aug). For students graduating in December, there isn't as many full time jobs starting in January since most are in the summer.

[@CrashOverride332]

No matter the situation, a two month interview process is asinine. All that time you wasted on coding tests you could have been teaching your stack.

You shouldn’t have a problem getting an internship with that face. Yes, you have an advantage over men, use it.

[@cookiestuf232]

yikes carl. at the end of the day if a candidate's skills aren't there, they won't be hired :)) So Crystal, when you do get that internship, don't forget it'll be because of your skills!

this video sucks for self taught developers :(

[@emerly691]

And people who aren't come from prestigious schools like Stanford and UW. It's so contradict like how they talked about specifically recruiting students from those schools, and at the same time, recruiting people from non-CS background??? If you are a self-taught developers and from a non-CS background, no where in the video explaining how to get your foot in the door...

[@StefTechSurfer]

Process can either be fked or good lol. Mostly the former.
