Software Engineer
CS Student looking for progression advice
Hi, I’m a computer science student in the UK. I took a gap year and worked as a software engineer for 12 months before I started university and I’m now in my first year. I have secured an internship at Microsoft this summer as a SWE which is meant for second years (not Microsoft Learn) and also working on two ML projects while I study.
I’m in a pretty good position, feeling very grateful and blessed at the moment. I’m wondering what I should work on or focus on, what things I should learn next etc etc.
I’d like to be a stand out applicant for when I’m looking for grad jobs. Does anyone have any advice on how I can improve, make my CV/resume super stacked, and become an applicant that is different from the regular CS student. Thinking about working in HFT or some other financial company next year. Thank you!

Go to conferences, events, hackathons, build your network, don’t discount the importance of a good virtual presence especially in this day and age. You’re already standing out with your experience, connect with others in the same boat and the rest will come.
