post on the 'who wants to be hired' thread.

then search the 'who is hiring' thread, and apply to a few companies that match. seems like a bunch of companies are hiring interns for everything.

also, if you are willing to SDR, it's a great way to get in, and pay your dues in a way that most people never will at any software or tech company. if an engineer ever tries to dis you? fuck you buddy, you got an engineering degree, but i was an sdr.

in all seriousness tho, i think it's a great place to start. even if it's highly likely you'll get fired. it's high risk, high reward. i've never done it at someone else's company - tried it myself - it's hard.

after that, Level 1 Technical Support. done. do your time there, study on the side, concentrate on titles, you'll be there in no time.

also, obv, go to a booming fucking vertical. crypto. defi. vr. securitah. whatever it is this week. or will be next week.

ideally, go to a booming fucking company, whether in a booming fucking vertical or not.

who is that? flexport? stripe? i don't know who. prob anything that is bad for humans and humanity.

many of the big companies are booming, but....what a fucking existence. but if all you really care about is getting enough coin to retire early and then get depressed and kill yourself because you no longer have a meaningful goal, then big company might be for you. they can pay really well. you might die a thousand deaths before you have a chance to take your own life, but at least you'll be able to brag on the FIRE boards.
