I graduated college last year and I'm still in unemployment hell. I have a CS degree so now I'm too overqualified for retail and too underqualified for tech jobs, despite the fact that I have made numerous projects and have tried my best to upskill, I'm still not good enough apparently. It is super frustrating and demotivating to wake up to rejection emails month after month after month.

    Pretty much, yeah. You need to know someone who knows someone who‘s a higher up at the place you want to work at. Especially for internships.

    I get why it is like that. Companies want someone who actually is interested in doing good work and socially connecting with their coworkers.

    Especially in tech where there‘s hella competition it pays to have those extra few % of productivity. Also, a hostile environment in IT can go very wrong very fast (remember the guy deleting all data after being let go)
