As someone that is still in undergrad but will be entering the labor market in a few years, this entire process makes me incredibly anxious to think about. Reading what some people go through to find decent jobs has been a huge stressor throughout my undergrad career. I was lucky enough to secure a good internship this summer (which took months of searching and getting ghosted). I’m not excited to run the rat race again once I graduate—that’s for sure!

Luck plays a huge factor, but generally the crowd on HN are opinionated and bitter. That said, if you're really brilliant and way above your peers, the luck factor drops significantly. Anyway, your experience will likely vary. Don't worry too much.
