if you're not landing internships via your college then you're attending a shit college. my old school has Google, Meta, OpenAI, Apple, Microsoft, etc setting up mini conventions on an annual basis hoping to snipe some UofW fresh grad to exploit.

tbh that sounds more like you've been at an awesome college.

really? I always assumed that was the norm for schools. I went to the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada and every year it was a massive thing getting internships and paid gigs with these places. It's such an important thing we had an entire building on campus dedicated purely to it. for CS majors it was required for graduation.

I went to an university in Europe. None of the companies you listed set up anything here.
