Anyone else feel like... they just totally blew it, completely screwed up? : r/csMajors
I just wanted to make a post to see if anyone could relate to me, and if so, has any advice or just share their experience. Just graduated from a top 10 CS school, >3.5 GPA, two internships (one Fortune 500), U.S. Citizen, and hiring freeze led to no return offer. 200 total applications, all rejections. It really crushed me to make it to a round 6 and then get rejected, thats just brutal. Been desperately scrambling. This week, I got a 80k IT indian consulting firm job. I know this market is tough, and this is a solid starting salary with everything that's going on. Unfortunately, I can't help but feel angry at myself when I see my peers at Google and equivalents, making 6 figures. Some of these people used to make fun of me for struggling so hard in Computer Science. Still I persevered. I think back to my sleepless nights all the way back to high school, dozens of AP classes, all hoping for it to work out in the end, and just feel regret. I wish I didn't stress myself into depression
