These videos are awesome, I wish I had them a couple years ago... for us in the non-ivy schools the prospect of getting recruited is like a mirage

[luiscarloscruzcastillo]

I'm really nervous about getting my first job after college, but these videos have helped to understand how that process works, thank you so much Mayuko

[allthehui]

This video is SO good!!!! 100% accurate to my experience and so many valuable tidbits that would’ve been great to know as a student 🥺

[BrainMeltLLC]

Her nodding was added in and looped XD

[siansroadtonirvana]

Graduated in December with a CS degree..no job offers for 5 months now :( many interviews but no luck.

[anon]

I have a degree in business management and took networking and cybersecurity certs straight out of uni, as well as uploading code to github. And I've only worked tech jobs. Landing the first job is always the hardest.

[NextDoorChannel]

The tech industry always mention a script on their job offering page “equal opportunity/affirmative Action Employer/Gender Identity, etc” but the fact is that they only sort candidates from IVY league. This is contradiction and giving false hope to others who doesn’t have an opportunity to pursue their academic grades… Hmm… :(

[excodot]

Thanks for this interview, Mayuko. My question is "why are still there more tech jobless grads when there also more tech positions advertised"?

[falcogrice]

mayuko, could you do a video on how one can bag an international job offer at a tech company right after college ??? thanks you so much, also this video for quite helpful, once again thanks

[BryanGarcia-xcre]

This is a really nice interview. I really like it. Thanks, Mayuko, I appreciate it a lot.

[CrashOverride]

No matter the situation, a two month interview process is asinine. All that time you wasted on coding tests you could have been teaching your stack.

[TerryOnVinyl]

I just graduated from Georgia State with my CS degree, getting 2+ rejection emails a day at this point. I forgot to get 4+ years experience working as a software engineer while getting my degree and it's really setting me back LOL

[suhdongbin]

Just getting an internship is already so hard.

[bertcano]

I started tearing up when I heard the music degree part lmao (sniff)

[St.Arthur]

SO, should i go through college or go to a highly rated bootcamp? pls help 😢

[harsh]

Your channel has too few views. Your stuff is really helpful :)

[santiagorendon]

I’m kind of confused of when she was talking about when to start applying like what dates did she mean? Also why did she say graduating in December is bad?

[alstjr]

would anyone know a similar video like this for mechanical engineer graduates?
