How do people actually get started in the computer engineering industry?

I'm a junior computer engineering major starting the job and internship search. A lot of "entry-level" jobs and internships seem to have experience requirements. Does underlining personal projects and certifications really work? What am I supposed to do?

What does a typical career path look like for someone who wants to become a sales manager, and what challenges should I expect along the way?

I’m especially interested in what entry-level jobs or experiences help build toward that role, and how long it usually takes to move into management. Also, what are some of the biggest challenges people face along the way—like hitting sales targets, handling rejection, or leading a team—and how did you personally overcome them?

How do you choose between multiple job offers after college graduation #Fall25?

I am currently a junior in university, and have secured 2 full-time job offers through past internships. I am also currently freelancing as an independent contractor with 2 other organizations, both of which expressed interest in having me continue beyond my time as a student. Once I graduate, how do I decide between which full-time/freelancing offers to take? What are the pros and cons of juggling multiple jobs/contracts? For some context, I mostly do nonprofit management work, so entry-level salaries are ~$65,000/yr and contract work is ~$25/hr for 10-15 hrs/wk.

What’s the best way to break into the cybersecurity field as an international student with 9 months of studying cybersecurity experience, 500+ job applications, and an ongoing Security+ certification?

Hi everyone, I’ve been studying cybersecurity for the past 9+ months and actively applying to internships and entry-level roles, with over 500 applications and 250+ LinkedIn connections so far. A few connections helped with referrals, but my resume still gets rejected. Last month, I felt devastated and started doubting myself. But I gathered courage and started preparing for CompTIA Security+ to strengthen my foundation. I’ve optimized my resume for ATS, participated in CTFs, and improved my LinkedIn, but I’m still struggling to land interviews. Can someone please guide me? What is the right approach to land my first cybersecurity internship/job? What specific skills or certifications helped you get your first break? How do I know if I’m "job-ready"? Should I focus on one company or keep applying everywhere? Any tips, encouragement, or actionable steps would mean the world. 🙏 Thank you!

How do I start my career in technology?

I graduated with a bachelors in information technology of August 2024. For a couple of years I’ve been struggling to look for jobs in general, especially since I started my degree. I have done everything that I could imagine. I’ve been to a couple of career fairs, I have tailored and revised my résumé several times, I’ve tried to talk with hiring managers and even tried to prepare for interviews with no luck. I think I have applied to over 1000 applications over the past couple of years. Since 2023, I’ve had two unpaid fraudulent internships, I’ve had a few interviews, but they never made it to the second or third round and jobs either ghost me or end up being ghost jobs. At this point, I don’t know what else I can do. If anyone has any advice or can offer any jobs that would suit me, I would appreciate that. I’m looking for jobs that are mostly entry-level.

Would having a dual major degree in Computer Science and Cybersecurity & Operations have a negative impact while applying for work?

I'm wondering if hiring managers in tech might be biased against candidates with a specialized CS degree. Initially, I planned to pursue a degree in cybersecurity, but I was advised to opt for a more generalized degree. Given the course requirements, it was feasible to add a dual major, so I chose that route. Now I'm questioning whether I should reconsider my choice before it's too late. Although I'm still aiming to specialize in cybersecurity after graduation, I’m also hearing advice to remain open to unexpected opportunities in the tech field. I want to ensure I have flexibility in the future, so this decision has been weighing heavily on me.
