The screen that decides your internship has quietly moved out of the recruiting software and onto the desk of the person who would manage you.

Every stage of this cycle got cheaper for you except the last one, and almost nobody tells students that the expense line already exists.
If you graduate in 2029, you are inside an open recruiting window right now, and the calendar you inherited from the class above you is wrong by a season.
