What organizations hire entry level software engineers with only internship experience? I have a friend who is 29 with a BA in finance who recently completed a software engineer boot camp with per scholars. She just completed a 4 month internship with a fintech. She is a black, masculine presenting lesbian and has a hard time landing a role. She is feeling really down about it.

Unfortunately boot camps don’t cut it imo. I’ve done them and learned a lot. I feel like you need an analyst level role that might kind of push you that way organically. Or some really cool personal projects they can talk about.

What kind of software engineering does she want to break into? I had a friend land a solution engineer role at salesforce after a general 6 month bootcamp. But getting into most companies' product eng teams or core eng roles requires heftier work experience. Maybe start with startups and move into bigger companies from there. There's always availability on angellist

Lots of smaller companies will, but of course with those qualifications don't be expecting the 6 figure salaries other are getting at entry level.

Just venting:::
I had a interview for Human resources assistant position yesterday and while screening me. The lady mentioned that the position has already been filled as of yesterday but they still want to continue my screening for the future. I told her that we can continue if there are similar job opportunities open which there is another position but it has "ALSO" been filled as of today. I was just so irritated. I feel like it was just a waste of my time if I decided to going forward.

I’m currently at a medium sized tech startup. I was interviewing for a role that would be a bump in pay and title at a multinational public F50 company. At first, the hiring manager and head of legal were very complementary about my experience. Almost too much so. After a week of interviews with the team (softball-esq), I was informed that if I wanted to join, they would bring me on at a lower title. I’m not sure about comp yet. But if comp is still an increase + experience at a public..
