Honestly… I get that on-campus recruiting is convenient and all, but it’s not everything. I’ve worked 5 internships and got exactly 0 from campus recruiting. It’s really not that hard, or time consuming, to hit up a recruiter on Linkedin with your req and candidate ID from an online application. It’s really not that hard to shoot off an email to a hiring manager. I swear.
You can 100% make up for a lack of campus recruiting. NO ONE from the industry I’m interested in comes to recruit at my school. I’m on track to make over 110k base salary at graduation. Hasn’t hurt me even a little bit.
