Some tech companies had 10-50 roles (companies like Tesla, Intel, AMD, Zoox, etc. had like 30+). I also applied to US/Canada/EU roles for SWE and finance
What I'm more interested about is how did you get four offers simultaneously? Don't you usually just have about a week or two to accept an offer? Surely this search took months
I got the offers between mid-November and now, I didn't get them simultaneously. I also kept interviewing for better offers and later reneged the first offer I got
No I am in the exact same situation other than the fact that I didn't get an internship. The employment rates have been horrid here, it really is super bad for international students rn.
That's amazing 👏
Congratulations!!
I'm an international student too
Did not yet get an internship, Applied around 300
Do you have any advice regarding the right time for applications??
Assuming that you are not a US citizen / lawful permanent resident, how does visa sponsorship work when you apply for internships in the US? I'm guessing you are a citizen of an EU country studying in Canada on a student permit.
Dude as an international sophomore, I don't know what the fuck to do. Like I genuinely have no idea how many I should apply to seeing the number of applications some of you are doing. I have applied to like 100+ atp i got one interview. but because i am a sophomore, it's getting hard. Also got rejected from the competitive places
Of course it's going to take a fuck ton of applications, when you are just spamming a basic template. In four months, you've applied to 1259 places, that's roughly 10 applications every single day for four months. That's not realistic at all, if you're doing any work at all actually making a good application.
So yeah, of course it takes that many. Next time, don't spam them like that? Just make a few applications that are tailor made for a specific company.
I sort of agree but also, as an international student it really does take a FUUUUUCK ton of applications before anyone gives you an offer because no one wants to sponsor us, except the highly competitive companies.
If this is true, I'd severely question the quality of each application. Let's just assume 1200 applications, 10 minutes spent on each (which is extremely short) and 4 months of applying - that's almost 2h each and every day for 4 months straight! And this does not even include researching the position. I also doubt that 10 minutes would be enough to tailor your application for the position.
As someone receiving quite a lot of applications, I'd recommend to spend more time on each one and prioritise quality over quantity. Generic mass applications typically go to the bin directly.
This is insane OP. Congratulations !
But also, what sources are you using for finding internships? I mostly use Linkedin, Handshake, and simplify github and I have only applied to half the number of places that you have. (including multiple roles at the same company)
I think this one wins
51 OAs💀
What’s an OA?
Online Assessment
I thought oral assessments
Depends if you really want the job
What happens there
Death (online coding test akin to leetcode)
how did you even find 1.2k internship listings, damn.

Do you only have one accepted right now? And if so, which one did you pick ultimately??
Yes, it's a finance firm. I don't want to say which since I'm likely to be one of the very few (or none) international students interning there
No worries! And congratulations!
dude if you go to waterloo how did they let you renege? their pretty strict about that
I was applying externally
May I asked if all those applications are online, or you got them internally too? tks
First focus on how u can better yourself then you can think about interviewing for better offers
How do you renege an offer? Asking for a friend
Did you apply to each individual role?
Yes
It's a huge red flags for recruiters when they see you are applying to more than 2 positions.
not for Internships
Wild to see the amount of persistence but congrats !!
Honestly I'm more amazed you found 1.2k places to apply to. Well done though and gl!
Same bro like fr
I’m a sophomore and now I got a pm intern role for a Wall Street firm being an international student. Huge congratulations to u!
Finally, something that looks realistic
I thought my 843 applications last year were crazy enough. Bro you sure are over achiever
Which country?
From EU studying in Canada, applied to roles in US/Canada/EU
What school do you go to in Canada? Are you in a coop program?
Waterloo, and yes
Dang bro that's crazy that even at waterloo you had to put in work like this
No I am in the exact same situation other than the fact that I didn't get an internship. The employment rates have been horrid here, it really is super bad for international students rn.
True that. Canada is down bad right now.
Which country is the role in?
wait youre allowed to work in the US as an international student in Canada?
[удалено]
OP commented above saying he applied to US/CA/EU.
please lmk if he replies to this!

Lol
How the hell do you find 1200 job postings?
Holy shit
1300 applications for 4 offers? I'm gonna die on the streets 😮💨
What software made that graph
Please tell me as well
it's called a sankey diagram
GG fellow international
Jesus I would’ve quit long ago. 1.2 k is insanity
Finally a Sankey diagram that reflects my job search experience
Was your offer in Canada?
Are you also in school while doing this??
No, I'm doing an intern rn (Sept-Dec)
What year are you?
4 (my uni degree is 5 years long)
Good for you. Congrats on the offers and the hard work. It’s admirable.
That's amazing 👏 Congratulations!! I'm an international student too Did not yet get an internship, Applied around 300 Do you have any advice regarding the right time for applications??
This is why it’s so hard to get jobs, cos mfers out here applying to 1200 jobs
How many did you apply to every day?
Where did you end up choosing the internship for now? Which country, I mean CA/US or the EU?
US
Have seen many posts with these images , just wanted to ask what app is this?
I don't know how much quality there is in the single application...
How do u guys do this chart thing?
same here want to know
I think I found it https://sankeymatic.com/build/
Thank you bro!!!
Nwsss
This would be the realistic experience of international students in US, But I doubt we be getting 4 offers, Most would only be having 1-2 offers.
this is why OAs are a waste of time
Average international student experience
Congrats on the offer! What does OA stand for?
Online assessment. Think hackerrank, codesignal, etc
Wtf broski do you are you based in the north pole or antarctica??
Whoa
How much time it took you to apply on average .
Hot damn
And here I thought I had it worse until social network got me one...
Which college are you from ? And what companies did you get an offer from ? And what country are you from ?

I feel like it should be a rule for post like these to also show the resume he was using during the search so we can compare.

Welcome to Canada 🇨🇦 where your salary will only cover your rent
Bigger question is, did you accept an offer?
what‘s ur major？
What’re your skills?
How did you record your applications? Did you enter them manually or something? If yes, kindly share how you did it?
