You are never too young! I made the mistake of not getting enough internship experience in college and it was a lot harder to get a job out of college. Make a portfolio and try to show off your work. Try to learn technologies companies are actually using. But you are young so just keep building your skills and keep applying. GL!

It varies, but the vast majority of companies want rising seniors. Keep your head up, build some skills, and target your search to other industries, like defense, for searching next year. Good luck!

Hey there! 👋

Two questions for you:
1) Do you have a portfolio or website?
2) What kind of internships are you applying for?

Trying to get internships at major companies this early will be tough. Competition is fierce. Don’t give up though!One other idea is to try no traditional internships- small local dev shops or freelancers who need some extra help might be open to hiring you. I mean, you could also just freelance if you have the skills. Sometimes I get projects on fiverr during the school year to add to my portfolio. 🤫
