Question Graduated CS, no job? What to do?

I had an internship this summer and I won't know if I get a return offer until October. I'm trying to apply to stuff but haven't gotten any interviews back.

Any advice for a newly unemployed and graduated CS major?

It seems like entry level/junior level positions market is super rough right now. I've had 3 internships and have a decent amount of experience in web3 area or backend software engineering.

The first thing I would recommend is go to any career fairs GT is doing, like the all-majors career fair or the CC career fair. Companies coming to those will usually have some entry-level jobs they’re looking to fill.

Not the case anymore. Last time, the queue to get in wrapped around the whole building. They all just tell you to apply online.

Yeah that is how it was when I was a junior.
I probably will still go and try to network a bit. Surely it will improve my odds a bit.
