Im in 2nd year of my CS degree and i think that i should move on from this sub for now...

Ask yourself if it’s something you enjoy doing or at least something you could tolerate for years as a career. I graduated with a 3.5 and no internships and a few projects which weren’t really polished. I applied to roughly 40 jobs and landed a Technical Support Engineer position for ~$60,000. Yeah the pay might not be amazing but I’m really enjoying the job so far and my area doesn’t have an extremely high cost of living so it’s plenty for me to start out with. You don’t have to become a FANG developer and make six figures right out of college, that isn’t a common experience either. If you ask around you’ll find that a lot of developers start in the same kind of role I just got.
