I recently graduated with compute science degree.(2026).from a tier 4 college.
firstly I hated CS, but then I started loving it , and during 1st,2nd,and 3rd year, I was clueless, I thought I would do cloud computing(I was delusional and thought I will get paid in lakhs but no).
I read about cloud computing,But it didn't interest me, then I shifted to data science. I even did a paid internship(I paid them 3000).I didn't know back then that it was a scam and Internship are not meant to be paid for(during my second year).The whole 2nd and 3rd year I didn't do anything.I didn't had laptop.
On 3rd year ending I got laptop, tried to get internships, and tried learning new tech stacks, I thought data science was my thing.
and then continued learning about numpy,pandas and all those stuff.

but, when I came to final year I started hating it, I wanted something Interesting .I wanted something else, then as always I did AI search. It says like Java is good and software development.I saw it and thought wow,,,

That's when I started watching kunal's videos.I thought I was learning something, but I didn't know how to approach a problem,, So i fell into the trap of using AI.
I solved aroudn 90 problems only with using AI

I didn't get any internships.
So I made a website for my father's company and called it a Internship.(my father gave me certificate since college said its mandatory)

then I got a internship opportunity(during my data science passion days, I did infosys springboard courses like we are supposed to do 17 courses back then i did only the assessments so I didnt get into it.)
They emailed like, you can do the courses fully and slot are there

so I did it,
in the ending like 8th semester I got the internship, did it for 2 months and it ended.

and in starting of 2026, I deleted my leetcode account and opened another acccount.it was good start. for now I have done 245 problems, and I can say, I used AI less than I used before, Like I can explain the code. now

now,,
its the june, still I didn't get any job,
I might have applied to 100-150 jobs, got around 2-3 interviews

ohh god forgot to mention,, during the software dev phase , I got a OA from amazon, I still believe its a glitch, but still I did the OA for first round, for SDE 1 ,but I didn't get into next round.- I still think this is one of the best things happened to me

and during april I even wrote TCS ion I got 70%.

I don't Know how am I going to get a Job, But Still I am gonna try harder everyday,,,.....
