Depends on industry and type of work…PE, hedge, acct, consulting. I would sent requests through LinkedIn in your connections to people who work in the job or company that you aim to work at….also don’t message asking for a referral first build off on getting to know the company first and it’s values

I studied computer science in school but I didn’t do well due to life coming in the way. I got poor grades but ultimately finished my degree without any internship experience.

After three months of job search, I started for 45K at a construction company as a Jr App Support. After a year I shifted in to QA for 65k and now after a year of QA, I have finally gotten a position as a software engineer for 78K base.

The imposter syndrome is finally gone!

Hang in there, hard work pays off.
