My life has been a serious of unfortunate events. I got rejected twice by that company, got gatekept by the school for the CS major (now finishing up EE instead, not an easy major too) because they asked for too high of a GPA and have to pick up the slack and learn on my own, and now I might sign up to the military because I couldn't find a job and desperate to make some money. I don't know what to think when I see all my friends got internships and this one person got both Tesla/Meta ones at the same time while I tried so hard and got rejected from that company in the final round and now I have to sign up for the military instead which means accepting lower pay than the big companies. For anyone reading, just do better and train/focus on your middle 2 years of college. I just don't know if I should try to apply to new grad position at this point, which has a harder shot of getting in(or pretend to apply as an intern as a graduate). I should have done better in high school or even middle school to do CS in my college. This has all been my fault the moment high school started.
