Where does it place me in the job market 5 internships later?

Greetings everyone, I wanted to talk about my current state. I major in Banking and Fintech, I'm currently in my third year approaching my fourth next Fall. I live in a small country, the job market in where I live is so bad, it's unfathomable. The cashier in the place I'm currently interning at graduated in Chemical Engineering and has an MBA.

So far I've done three internships. 2 of them are MNCs, my third MNC will be this summer. One is a small hotel chain (Summer 2025 - Finance Department Intern). The second one is in a startup (Winter 2026 - Sales Intern), the one I'm currently in is a global private school firm (Spring 2026 Finance Department Intern), then after this one I'll be interning for a bank (Summer 2026 - Corporate Finance Intern). I'm doing these on my own and I have to take a mandatory internship under my curriculum at the end of my fourth year which will all add up to five.

Extracurriculars is that I'm my university's current council Vice President and I've published a paper on macroeconomics.

I don't want to struggle finding good paying jobs, will I have a hard time with my current stats? It's brutal out here.

What laptop do you use for work? Looking for recommendations

I hope everyone's doing wonderfully in this subreddit. I was wondering what laptop do you guys use for work and would you recommend it? The applications I'll be using ranges from MSoffice, python, BI, and just your usual casual work. I'm in fintech and I also have to do some accounting work. I'm looking for a laptop below $1000. I've used both windows and macOS laptops and I personally prefer windows but I'm also looking into mac because they have better battery health overall and tends to last longer.

Qatar graduates from 2023-2026, where are you now?

Greetings, everyone. I hope everyone is doing wonderful. I just wanted to express my slight anxiety on the current job market, my friends' parents are getting laid off, people I know have been unemployed for a while, I need to know what happened to the people who graduated in Qatar the past 2 years.

I'm still a third-year finance student, approaching my fourth next Fall. I want to know any advice from people to land a job in our current job market. So a little information about me, I'm on my third internship right now, I have my fourth secured as well this summer. I still have to do another internship required by the university on my last semester therefore I'll be graduating with 5 internships. (3 MNCs, 1 start-up so far) I've part-timed in another MNC and a government sector. I've also published a macroeconomics research paper. However, due to juggling through everything it has affected my GPA and I'm no longer a candidate for honors.

I've applied both fairly and through wasta, 100% of the time I get into the internship/job through wasta however whenever I apply fairly I tend to get lost among the other applications. I'd say I roughly only get 2-4 replies and 1 offer for every 20 I've applied. However, I can't help but feel like maybe I'm incompetent because it's so hard to find companies that get back at you and I'm only getting into jobs through connections. Don't get me wrong, I can recognize that I'm in a more favorable position and I am eternally grateful. I just feel like I'm not good enough for other companies (the ones I want)

Questions for graduates:
1. What was the experience when looking for a job?
2. Will it hurt to not graduate with honors?
3. Does GPA matter more than internships?
4. Any tips on finding work after university?

Your answers would be of great help, maybe we can all learn from eachother so we all secure jobs.

Does anyone know a good place for a moroccan bath for men? I need a place that's both affordable and provides good service. I have chicken skin in my arms and deep scrubbing helps easen the texture.
