not to bite on what you're saying (it's mostly accurate) but you've interned - the bar is much lower for interns than even junior devs.

i am interested in how you've managed to apply to multiple roles at the same company? is this across 3 internship seasons?

Applying to multiple position makes perfect sense if the company is big enough with multiple teams. Google probably has like 10 distinct positions that's applicable to someone. Often times, candidates don't get shared across positions, so you're really at a disadvantage if you don't put yourself in front of as many sources / hiring managers as possible.

A lot of companies will list the same roles across different teams. Applying to (or interviewing with) all the different teams helps your chances. I'm at Tesla right now and I applied for 15 different roles over the span of 3 years before they gave me an offer.

but do you interview with the same company multiple times per season? isn't that like cheating? like taking basically the same test e.g. 10 times?

Yeah, it's exactly like taking the same test multiple times! I recommend it :) In my experience, this only happens in the same season if it's the recruiter's idea. Google did this with me one time. The recruiter knew I just got rejected interviewing with one Google team, but she was incentivized to put me in the interview track with another team so I got two shots.
