[@PG-vs9im]

I agree. Just to share my experience, I was unemployed for 4 months (Sept 9 2022 to Dec 16 2022). It was probably the worst moment of my life. I've never been unemployed longer than 3 weeks. I felt useless, hopeless and negative thoughts are inside my head. My savings dropped to zero and about to get kicked out. But despite that, I always tell my self that better days are coming. And it came! Your time will come too and I don't want anyone to experience what I've experienced. It's okay to take a rest, but don't give up and please don't get discouraged.

[@franciskim5455]

Yo Pan, sorry you had to deal with that bullshit man. I just wanted to say during my backend web dev / data science bootcamp over here in South Korea, I showed my team ur "software engineer interns on their first day be like" video which made all of us laugh our ass off when we were going through hard times(we had to learn some wild machine learning concepts after 2 weeks of JabbaSCript lmao). I myself graduated college with no job offer lined up, and coming from a non CS background, breaking into tech was not a fun time. Now I'm working at a startup as a data analyst and it's certainly not Meta or Google, but I'm enjoying it so far as a first job and think it's fun to work with a mid-sized group of people also. So anyway, just hope you don't get too let down by this news brother and keep your head up :)

@@beansconarroz many cs majors don't get or have internships. The college I used to work at at least 75% of the CS majors didn't have internships. Only a few did them after graduating. They also had weak portfolios simply because they thought they were better than software dev and BI students. My BI portfolio and GitHub was way better than theirs. I suck at coding for sure as it's not intuitive but I worked hard to create meaningful projects that interested me and showed progress. I volunteered at hackathons for middle and high schoolers. Their projects were always amazing. I'd help them troubleshoot in languages I don't know to get their code working. During breaks I'd share my portfolio and they'd suggest added features and ideas. So I have a great list of enhancements to work on.

Sorry to hear about this! Fellow software dev here, graduated in 2020 when this stuff went down as well. Honestly, I'm under the impression that you are very smart and capable, and once the economy returns for the better, I'm confident you will get another offer in no time. In the meantime, there are still options! There are freezes at big techs but there are still startup / mid-sized companies who are hiring, for example I know Figma and Databrick are hiring. Best of luck! I'm sure you will find a job if you just need to keep the lights on. Once the economy gets better you can get back to big tech ( if that's your goal ). Fingers crossed.

[@david6851]

Hey Pan, fellow meta intern here. Didn't get GE but got rescinded twice by other companies this season. The most recent rescind was 1 week before my December graduation date. Luckily, I was still in the loop with a ML unicorn company and ended up getting the offer right before Christmas. I can't say it's easy to pull of what I did but there are definitely still opportunities left. Maybe ask Bloomberg and see if they can give you the offer you turned down? (idk if u ended up getting their offer or not). Anyway, chin up, you got this. Worst case you can do masters or something and re-recruit for 2024 new grad.

[@david6851]

@MikeProductions1000 I mean I do feel like if one's financial situation allows, doing masters isn't that bad. Sitting around for a whole year waiting for the hiring situation to get better imo is not great at all. The benefit is masters is also a bit underrated for CS. You get one extra internship which is much much easier to get for top top companies, especially HFTs and top unicorns, which can lead to conversion to fulltime if things go well. I agree it's not great but it's not like it's that bad either imo.

Startup needs funding though right? Who's funding in this climate?

[@remenjoyer]

@@jijibobo7142 It is common for startups to seek funding in order to finance their operations, expand their business, and bring their products or services to market. There are many potential sources of funding available to startups, including venture capital firms, angel investors, crowdfunding platforms, and business loans from banks or other financial institutions. The availability of funding may depend on various factors, including the overall economic climate and the specific industry or sector in which the startup operates. It is important for startups to carefully research and consider the different options available to them and choose the one that is most suitable for their needs and goals.

[@csy897]

Let's face it, the writing was on the wall. At least you still have another semester and tons of time to look for another job. tbh tech is the only crazy place that gets you in before you're out of school. My friends and I were between 4-9 months unemployed after graduation. And I took my last semester in a school overseas so I was basically a holidaying hobo for 10 months. When I went back to school for a year to switch to tech and got hired 1 month before my course ended. Some of my friends dropped out with 3 months to spare because they got a tech-related job and didn't want to do an internship/project. Don't be too worried about the initial timeline, it is minuscule compared to your long career. That being said, if you still are in contact with your teammates at Meta, it doesn't hurt to ask them to let you know when they start hiring again or if they have friends at other big tech that are hiring. Also, are you open to working outside the US? The comp may be lower but the taxes and cost of living are a lot lower where I am at.
