Can you mention what the job you applied for was? What was their requirements? How many other jobs did you apply for? How was the interview process? Can you mention the salary? (only if you want to)
I applied for entry level software engineering jobs as well as internships. I applied to about 50 different roles (all ranging from big tech companies and smaller companies). The interview process is pretty standard (initial call with recruiter, 1hr coding interview, final interview). If you’re curious about how much companies should be paying you, I’d recommend checking the average pay in your city for that role on websites such as glassdoor
Love your content! I am considering applying to the conversion course at Bristol as well. Do you think it would be possible to land an entry level SWE position without relevant professional experiences as I am a recent graduate ? thanks xx
Thanks so much! Yep, it’s definitely possible, I had no relevant professional experience and was able to secure a role as a new grad. Many people from my course have been able to do the same. Employers don’t expect you to have a lot of experience as a new grad, they care more about your coding/problem solving skills :)
@@anitangoc good to hear! thanks for the answer and again for your content, there's not much on conversion courses out there so it was a gem to find :)
Hello, just interested to know, at what stage of your course did you start applying for jobs? I know in the UK many of the graduate programmes begin recruiting in Sept/Nov and bearing in most MSc courses start in Sept, this doesn't give one much time to gain the knowledge/skills needed when making a job application, if applications are made at the start of the course.
Hey! It depends on which companies you are looking to apply to, but many of the big tech companies start recruitment around November and also after Christmas. They usually only accept applications at this stage (i.e., your resume etc.), the actual interview won't happen until much later so you'll have some time to prepare. This is only for big tech companies though, other companies recruit much later or a few months before the starting date
Thank you for sharing ❤️ this is very helpful.
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful❤️
You make great content. Love your videos!
Thanks so much!
Would you recommend I do a placement year with my masters conversion course?
I know this is 2 years on but what is your lip combo in this video ? 😅
😂Love this! It’s NYX lip liner in Natural and NARS lip gloss in Chelsea Girls🤗
