2026 CSE graduate struggling to find a job — looking for advice, referrals, or an opportunity
I’m a 2026 Computer Science graduate, and job searching has honestly started taking a toll on me mentally.
I’ve been applying consistently, improving my resume, working on projects, practicing DSA, and trying to learn new technologies, but I still haven’t been able to land a full-time opportunity.
My main skills are Python, C++, FastAPI/Flask, REST APIs, SQL, Git/GitHub, and Generative AI/LLM applications. I’ve also solved 450+ LeetCode problems and built projects including a GenAI Job Description Analyzer and backend REST APIs.
I’m mainly looking for:
- Software Engineer / Software Developer
- Python Developer
- Backend Developer
- GenAI / AI Engineer entry-level roles
- Internships that can convert to full-time
I’m a fresher, so I’m not expecting some huge package. Right now I mainly want an opportunity where I can work, learn, contribute, and prove myself.
If your company/team is hiring freshers, or if you know someone I could reach out to, I would genuinely appreciate a referral or lead.
I’m also completely open to criticism. If you think there’s something wrong with my approach, resume, projects, or skill set, please tell me.
I don’t want to give up. I just feel a little lost right now and could really use some direction from people who have been through this phase.
Thank you for reading.
