Landed my first Software Engineering position!
Fully remote, 85k /yr
I’m a 22 year old CS Major in my senior year. During my time in college, I started a club, worked as a teaching assistant for an OOP course, and completed a 3 term software engineering internship.
Two months ago, I started applying for remote software engineering jobs, and finally got an offer today after 83 applications on indeed.
I had so much anxiety around the application and interview process in large part due to a lot of the negativity in places like this sub, but once I started actually hearing back from companies I felt a lot better.
Tailor your resume to each job listing and apply within 24 hours of the listing being posted instead of mass applying to dead listings. 60 of my 83 applications were to days/weeks old listings and I didn’t hear back from any of them.
The three companies I heard back from I applied to the same day the listing was posted, and the OA to interview to offer process took about 4 days.
I wanted to share this to inspire anyone struggling in their job search to keep going! Let me know if you’d like to look at my resume or want any feedback on yours!
