One advice and only one advice: HUSTLE FOR INTERNSHIPS.
\- If you can't find any, volunteer for professors or for school organizations doing SWE work to try to get something on your resume for next year
\- Look into industry programs for college students that are like 'pre-internships', Google Scholars, Netflix X Formation, Meta U. A lot of these shut down unfortunately.
\- Relentlessly apply for internships all over the country and message recruiters just trying to get into the pipelines wherever you can.
If you are graduating and don't have internships, I would consider doing a masters or extending a yearto buy more time.
