Junior hiring started falling before ChatGPT even launched. The thing actually squeezing you is different, and it is beatable.
Most students fight over the small slice of roles on the job boards. The bigger slice gets filled before it ever goes public.
The best internships open in the next six to eight weeks. If you wait until spring, you are applying for what is left.
Fall internship applications are open right now, which means the next eight weeks are not a gap to survive. They are a runway to build on.
In a market where AI screens out cold applicants, the people you meet this summer are worth more than the offer you are chasing.
The tasks that used to be a whole internship now cost tokens, not a summer. That changes what gets you the offer.
The fall internship pool shrinks dramatically, the deadlines are live this week, and you would be applying while almost no one else is.
The jobs report looked healthy this morning. The corner of it where interns and new grads actually compete barely moved, and that changes your whole summer strategy.
The flagship programs wrapped months ago. A whole second market is hiring right now, and barely anyone is still looking.
Landing one got harder for everyone this year. What you do with the next twelve weeks matters far more than the rejection did.
The conversion rate just hit a five-year high, which makes the full-time offer more winnable, and more loseable, than ever.
The job you want next year is being filled right now, by someone who's already inside the building.
