I applied, and was not accepted, to this program. I did a 5th-year Master's program in CS, had a part-time dev job in undergrad, developed a full-stack web app that has thousands of free users, and have been applying to jobs, without success, for the past 6 months. I can solve Leetcode problems, but have only ever been given one algorithmic problem in an interview. Perhaps I could get a job in FAANG, but I don't want to: I want a job that will benefit society. That market for junior engineers in government and non-profits is not "hot" – it's close to non-existent.
