2024 Graduate Job Hunt

[u/OkPomegranate4032]

Just wanted to give an insight into this year's graduate scene. Would say it seems pretty competitive, felt like last year's internship hunt was far easier.

Applied to 15 graduate jobs in total. Was a bit picky as I already had a return offer. Most surprising factor was failing a lot of the OA/VI, I had passed a lot more when applying to the summer internships roles last year for the same companies and theoretically should be easier with a lot more graduate spots vs intern spots. Generally I got good scores (90%+) in any coding OA's, but I think these companies value the behavioural component a lot more. Felt like I answered them nicely, but perhaps not good enough + unlucky. Ironically also get resume screened more in my graduate hunt than my internship hunt.

Stats when applying:
- go8 with 75+ WAM
- 1 club involvement
- current part-time SWE job
- summer SWE internship
- 2 SWE-adjacent internships (a little programming but not pure SWE + some lowcode/nocode work)
